🕑 Added 2023-08-08 17:43:00 +0000 UTCChp 2471: She Could Marry Another Man if She Wanted To
Hu Duo waited and persevered, but Luo Jiang still never married her.
Instead, he told her that he would not get married and that she could marry another man if she wanted to.
Hu Duo was dumbfounded. However, she still held an immense love for him. As such, Hu Duo could only continue to waste her time on him.
Hu Duo felt like she had lost herself. She had worked so hard, burying herself in stacks upon stacks of practice questions day and night, until she finally got accepted into university.
However, in the end, after getting pregnant and suffering apparent pregnancy brain, she dropped out. After she dropped out, she hovered around Luo Jiang all the time to do all kinds of chores for him.
Hu Duo wasn’t even employed. Occasionally, she'd feel that her life had gone terribly wrong, but she'd forget all about it as soon as she saw Luo Jiang. All she'd feel was a great love for him.
Even though it broke her parents' hearts, Hu Duo believed she had made the right choice. Her loyalty was thus unswerving.
However, the number of women surrounding Luo Jiang only grew. They were countless; Luo Jiang was swarmed by multitudes of beautiful, blooming flowers.
The title of 'ladykiller' was quite fitting for Luo Jiang.
Hu Duo's wish was to no longer be bewitched by Luo Jiang, to finish university and work, to show filial piety to her parents, and to take revenge on Luo Jiang.
Hu Duo couldn't figure out where Luo Jiang got the money to enter high-end places and live a life surrounded by countless beauties.
Hu Duo felt like she couldn't resist Luo Jiang. She didn't understand why she'd be so docile when she faced him. She was clearly furious and devastated; she wanted to grill him for answers, but the words got stuck in her mouth and refused to come out.
Ning Shu rubbed her forehead. She exhaled a long breath and began sitting cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.
Her body was a little feeble. It'd hinder her from taking action.
While she was cultivating, Ning Shu heard the doorbell ring, so she got off the bed, went to the door, and peeked from the peephole.
Huh, would you look at that? Luo Jiang was here.
Ning Shu opened the door. She stretched her head out the door and asked Luo Jiang, "What do you need?"
Luo Jiang's eyes swept across Ning Shu's face. He smiled as he said, "I just heard from Auntie that you have a cold. How are you? Is your cold much better?"
Luo Jiang and Ning Shu were sizing each other up. Probably because he was here to pick up a girl, Luo Jiang wasn't wearing a tank top. Instead, he wore a t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers.
He was looking very different from his usual decadent self.
Ning Shu replied, "I feel much better. Thanks."
Ning Shu closed the door as she said that, but Luo Jiang blocked the door and pretended to be sad. "Does Duoduo not like Brother Luo Jiang anymore?"
Ning Shu's indifferent face: →_→
Did she look like someone who was overflowing with maternal love?
However, a faint feeling in her heart told Ning Shu that she couldn’t refuse Luo Jiang since he was her childhood friend.
It must be the halo effect.
However, Ning Shu had exchanged for the faith halo before. The faith halo could resist curses and halos.
Ning Shu's mental strength was also quite formidable.
If any other person were standing in Ning Shu's place right now, they'd probably have become flustered and invited Luo Jiang into the house.
Luo Jiang pushed open the door and walked into the living room.
When he saw a book on the coffee table, he picked it up and asked, "You're studying calculus?"
Ning Shu nodded. "Advanced calculus is so complicated. You graduated from college already, can you explain it to me?"
Luo Jiang froze. He had spent nearly two years playing games at home. Everything Luo Jiang had learned in university had been returned to where it came from. What the hell would he know about calculus?
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Luo Jiang returned the book to where it was.
Why was it so hard to get a girl?
Ning Shu poured herself a glass of water and drank it while she stared at Luo Jiang.

Chp 2472: Easiest for the System to Control
Ning Shu suddenly understood why the beauty take down system would choose Luo Jiang. People who succeeded in life all had great perseverance. However, people like Luo Jiang did nothing but hope and wait for the sky to drop a free pie on their lap.
If the system dropped a free pie from the sky, Luo Jiang would be at the system's beck and call.
In conclusion, it was all because he wanted to get something for nothing.
He didn't want to work hard, yet he still wanted to be successful and live a great life.
This kind of people was the easiest for the system to control.
The system was actually the master in this scenario. Luo Jiang was simply a slave driven by the system.
"It's... Uh..." The room was deathly quiet, which made Luo Jiang very embarrassed. Moreover, since Luo Jiang graduated from college, he stayed at home and rarely went out. He now had a bit of a speech impediment.
Although he was never an articulate person from the start.
Luo Jiang's method of flirting now was still strange and immature. He had yet to acquire the gracefulness of his future self, which enabled him to pass by 10,000 flowers without having a single leaf stuck on his body.
Luo Jiang finally changed the topic. "I heard that a new themed aquarium just opened recently. Wanna go there and take a look?"
"I have a cold," Ning Shu lightly replied, "I don't want to go out."
Luo Jiang fell silent once more. This girl completely deviated from his prepared script. However, if he couldn't handle this girl, who only had 60 points in terms of looks, he'd surely fail with beauties with higher points too.
Luo Jiang smiled sheepishly and scratched his head. "I forgot that you have a cold. I'll take you to see the aquarium when you're feeling better. You should rest now."
Ning Shu nodded. "Take care."
Luo Jiang was even more embarrassed now. He was so flustered that he had begun to sweat. His face was beet red, and he dawdled out the door.
As he stood at the door, Ning Shu slammed the door shut. Luo Jiang’s face oscillated between blue and white, and he tightly clenched his fists. Fine! He'd see how this arrogant girl would still behave this way once he'd conquered her!
It wasn't like he didn't know that Hu Duo's parents looked down on him. Now, even Hu Duo looked down on him too.
He was also a good student when he was younger.
Now that he had a system, he'd make these people regret it.
Damned snobs!
Luo Jiang took a deep breath and returned to his house.
Meanwhile, Ning Shu changed clothes and took a small pink leather bag with her. She was about to go out.
All wild systems were the same. They were parasites of the planes. They lived off the plane's luck and laws, which they absorbed.
If the system's host failed to collect what the system wanted, the host would be abandoned. Ning Shu had to make the beauty take down system give up on Luo Jiang by default.
Without the system, Luo Jiang would be nothing.
He relied on the money given by the system to slap the faces of the rich second generations and social elites. Without the system, he'd have no income.
But where did the money given by the beauty take down system come from? If it was made by the system, with the amount of money it constantly flowed out, wouldn't it have caused inflation?
If the system didn't create the money by itself, it must've hacked the bank.
Didn't anyone notice how abnormal Luo Jiang was?
He had no assets, but he somehow had an unlimited amount of money.
Ning Shu closed the door and went to the market to buy a small clay pot.
She then went to the pharmacy to buy some herbs and needles.
She placed the herbs in the pot and added some food that would attract poisonous insects.
Ning Shu kept the jar in an inconspicuous spot in the park and covered it with leaves.
Ning Shu didn't know if the city had any insects or reptiles capable of making demonic poison. Furthermore, she didn't even know if creating demonic poison creatures was possible in this world.
Each world had its own set of laws, after all. In Ning Shu's last plane, making demonic poison was possible, thus strange creatures like demonic poison creatures were able to exist.

Chp 2473: As if He’d Just Caught His Wife Cheating
This plane was a modern one. Who knew if its laws would allow the existence of demonic poison?
There were no cultivators capable of flying and splitting mountains in modern times.
It was because the plane did not allow it. It'd exceed the world’s energy system.
Ning Shu had no choice but to try it out. If it didn't work, there were still other methods anyway.
Ning Shu returned to the neighborhood. On the way, she encountered Luo Jiang carrying a bag of fruit.
When Luo Jiang saw Ning Shu, his face instantly changed. His face became a little angry as if he'd just been insulted.
Luo Jiang was a sensitive person. He always felt that everyone looked down on him and trampled on his dignity.
He had asked Hu Duo if she wanted to go to the themed aquarium, but she declined. However, now he found out that she'd gone out.
Ning Shu took in Luo Jiang's expression. Luo Jiang acted as if he'd just caught his wife cheating.
However, she currently had nothing to do with him.
Luo Jiang took a deep breath and walked in front of Ning Shu. He looked like he was enduring great humiliation.
"Don't you have a cold? Why are you still going out?" Luo Jiang asked.
Ning Shu asked back, "Can't I go out?"
Luo Jiang's chest heaved for a while. He then said, "I'm just worried about you. Here, I bought some fruits for you."
"I can't accept your fruits for free. I'll pay you for them," Ning Shu opened her wallet and was about to pull out some money.
Luo Jiang's face suddenly turned ugly. "Do I look like someone who lacks ten yuan for some fruits?"
"How would I know if you are or if you aren't? Why are you giving me these fruits, anyway? My mother told me I shouldn't just accept other people's things. Otherwise, I'd be owing them," Ning Shu straightforwardly said.
With this kind of person, who cared most about their reputation, dignity, and self-esteem? One needed to tear their facade apart and trample on them.
Luo Jiang was so angry that he threw the fruit bag on the ground. As he furiously turned and walked away, the fruits he threw rolled on the ground.
Ning Shu: ...
He had no ability, yet he still had such a big temper.
Ning Shu picked up the fruits that had rolled on the ground. Some of the apples had been smashed.
It was bad to litter.
Ning Shu casually gave the bag to a beggar she met by the roadside.
The Luo family and the Hu family lived right next to each other. Ning Shu went upstairs and saw Luo Jiang leaning on his door, waiting for her.
Ning Shu ignored him and took out her key to open her door.
Luo Jiang rubbed his nose. He approached Ning Shu and began to apologize to her. "I'm sorry for what happened just now. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you. It's just that... We grew up together. You acted so distantly with me, which made me a little sad."
"Even biological siblings keep things clear when it comes to money. How could I accept your things for free?" Ning Shu coldly replied.
"I heard from my mother that you've been unemployed since you graduated college. Didn't you graduate from the engineering department? Why don't you find a job? If you don't work, you'll eventually run out of money.
"I heard that all you do is play games every day. Auntie and Uncle had paid your tuition fee. However, although you've graduated, you're still dawdling about at home. The only things you seem to know how to do are playing games all day and watching live streams of beautiful women. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"
Ning Shu lectured Luo Jiang in an aloof manner, which made his face turn blue. However, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to refute her, but everything she said was the truth.
Luo Jiang's ego couldn't bear being lectured by a girl. His face was twisted like he was constipated.
He had a system now. Did this girl think he was still the former Luo Jiang?

Chp 2474: His Talent Was Unrecognized
Luo Jiang always felt that his talent was unrecognized. However, now that he had a system, he could instantly turn into a prince among men.
In his heart, Luo Jiang swore he would make this damned girl cry and beg while hugging his thigh one day.
Luo Jiang thought for a bit before he said, "The reason you think I'm unemployed is that I don't head out to go to work. I am employed, though. Don't you know that it's now the era of the internet economy? Jobs nowadays aren't limited to the nine-to-five kind anymore."
Ning Shu: Isn't this all just braggadocio?
Ning Shu gave him no respect. One word was clearly written on her face: Liar!!
If he really did work, how could he not have any money? In the original storyline, Luo Jiang painstakingly searched for money to seduce Hu Duo.
Luo Jiang often took Hu Duo out to play and did all kinds of romantic things for her. He brought her to eat at high-end restaurants and bought her some exquisite small jewelry. However, all of these things were paid for with his parents' savings, which he stole.
These things cost a fortune, you see.
The influence of the halo, coupled with the fact that Luo Jiang was a childhood friend who treated her so well, Hu Duo fell into his trap and was taken advantage of. She was coaxed into confessing her feelings. Having obtained her affection, Luo Jiang then pushed her down to the bed.
Luo Jiang got a sum of 100,000 yuan instantly afterward.
After that, Hu Duo's brain turned into mush. She no longer consulted her brain for anything she did.
Ning Shu's contemptuous expression hurt Luo Jiang's ego.
This hypocritical woman worshiped those above and stepped on those below. She dared to look down on him and his family!
Luo Jiang clenched his fists. Anger was burning in his heart. Seeing her so smug, Luo Jiang really wanted to rape this woman. Could she still act so haughtily after being raped?
Why were all women nowadays so pragmatic? Hu Duo wasn't like this when she was a child.
Ning Shu took in Luo Jiang's twisted face. He was always so sensitive to others looking down on him. However, there was nothing respectable about him.
He arrogantly asked others to respect him and do whatever he wanted them to. If they didn't comply with his demand, he'd view that person as rotten in and out.
When Ning Shu turned her key and opened the door, Luo Jiang cheekily wanted to go in.
"What are you doing? Are you going to teach me calculus?" Ning Shu asked.
Luo Jiang halted, and Ning Shu closed the door on him.
Calculus? Luo Jiang had already forgotten all the things he had learned in college. After all, he barely even remembered how to eat on his own now.
Luo Jiang, who was once again spurned, didn't know what to say. He just turned around and headed back to his house. He slammed the door shut so hard that the walls trembled.
"That Hu Duo is simply unbelievable. Why didn't I know that the wench had such a bad personality?" Luo Jiang complained to the system.
The beginning was the hardest part of every journey. However, Luo Jiang thought, if he couldn't even handle a girl from a small family, how would he be able to handle a rich person's daughter and all the other kinds of women in the future?
"Can I spend money and sleep with a pretty prostitute?" Luo Jiang asked the system.
The system's voice was cold and arrogant. "No. At the very least, you must make a good impression of yourself to the beauty. You can then proceed with the natural course of things. Only then would you gain some charm.
"Also, when you sleep for the first time with a beauty, that will be your highest reward for her. Your rewards for her will gradually decrease afterward, so you'll have to find a new target."
Luo Jiang nodded. Spending time with the same woman would get tiring after a while anyway.
"I wonder, why did Hu Duo act like that towards me?" Luo Jiang was puzzled. The two of them used to hold hands when they went to school together. They'd hold hands when they came back too.
"It can only be said that you're charmless in her heart. The moon is much more beautiful from far away than up close. Choose another target. Don't waste your time on her," the system coldly said.
Switch to another target? The problem was that he was in an utter lack of choice. He couldn't even choose among his former female classmates.
After they graduated from college, they all went their separate ways.
It'd be difficult for them to meet up. Plus, they might actually be ugly and fat and thus couldn't meet the system's requirements.
After Luo Jiang thought hard about it, he decided that Hu Duo, who lived across his place, was still the best target.

Chp 2475: Women Only Need to Be Beautiful
Hu Duo's appearance had passed the passing line. They were also neighbors, so Luo Jiang could save on the transportation cost, and he could also meet her at any time.
Besides, since Hu Duo had humiliated him, he must take Hu Duo down. Once he did, he planned to discard her and destroy her.
If only she hadn't been so harsh and rude to him, perhaps he wouldn't abandon her.
"I'm going to conquer Hu Duo," Luo Jiang firmly told the take down system. "There's no such thing as a monster too difficult to defeat."
"Then you'd better hurry up. The first task has a time limit of two months. Not taking the girl down within the time limit means you fail." The system was cold and ruthless.
"Since you want to pick up girls, you should also clean yourself up and look neat. When women look at men, they want a good appearance, body, and money. You have none of those right now."
Luo Jiang grumbled. He wasn't that bad, was he?
"What about when men look at women?" Luo Jiang asked.
"Beauty, beauty, and more beauty. Women only need to be beautiful," said the system.
Men would tolerate beautiful women. Even if they were quick to anger and would cause all kinds of trouble, men would only helplessly grit their teeth and say: you tormenting little devil!
If they weren't that pretty yet got angry or acted pretentiously, men would change their tune and say: ugly bitch, did you eat an explosive?
"It's better to be a woman." Luo Jiang sighed. "You only need to be beautiful. As a man, you need to work like a cow and horse for women."
"I can transform you into a woman. Do you want to?" the system coldly responded.
"Don't, don't! I was only talking about it," Luo Jiang hurriedly said. He was afraid that the system would really turn him into a woman.
Luo Jiang was now full of energy. Calculus, was it?
He rummaged through the closet to find his college notebook, so he could give it to Hu Duo.
From now on, no matter how hard Hu Duo mocked him, he wouldn't be angry. He'd do it all for the rewards.
Luo Jiang rummaged for his notebook everywhere, but it'd been more than two years since he graduated. Why would there still be any notebooks of his? Who even knew if he'd already sold them as waste papers?
Really, just to pick up a girl, he had to even use calculus...
Luo Jiang rummaged through his room and finally found his notebook. However, it had been piled up in the cabinet and now smelled of dampness. Its pages were also yellow with insect bites.
Luo Jiang shook the book and put it on the balcony to dry. He ingeniously also picked some flowers from the balcony. He tied those flowers together and placed them on the somewhat yellowed notebook. It actually gave the notebook more of a hipster feel.
The next morning, after Hu Duo's parents went to work, Luo Jiang cleaned himself up. He shaved his beard, brushed his teeth, and rinsed his mouth.
After cleaning himself up, Luo Jiang went out with his notebook and hid it behind his back. Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened.
Ning Shu saw Luo Jiang at the door. She was planning to go to the park to see if any insects that could be used for making demonic poison had entered the jar.
When she opened the door, she saw Luo Jiang, this rogue.
"What are you doing?" Ning Shu asked. She had to attend class tomorrow, so she had to get the jar today.
Luo Jiang nearly lost control and rolled his eyes. This woman really didn't have a single cute bone in her body.
Fortunately, he had already seen how demeaning she could be.
Luo Jiang endured it. He took out his notebook from behind his back. "This is my notebook. It's got all the calculus notes that I made. Perhaps it could be useful for you?"
Ning Shu looked at the slightly yellowed notebook with the different colored flowers. He had obviously put some thought into this.
The notebook, with its yellow holes and insect bites, would look shabby on its own.
He had put some thought into this, but he also had a lot of malice hidden behind this gesture.
Why would he mess with someone's feelings if he never intended to marry them?
Furthermore, he only had one goal from the start.
All Luo Jiang was thinking about was his rewards. After he defeated this monster, what kind of equipment, gold coins, or second puberty-inducing medicine would be given to him?
Seeing that Ning Shu was only staring at him, Luo Jiang urged her, "Here. Take it."

Chp 2476: Would Your Notebook Even Help?
Ning Shu tilted her head and stared at the notebook. "Your notebook... I remember that you failed the course several times. Would your notebook even help?
"Your notebook would probably take me into the ditch," Ning Shu rudely said.
Luo Jiang's expression instantly turned ugly. He had worked so hard to find his notebook. He had also spent time tying the flowers. However, she completely looked down on his efforts. Should he throw a lump of money in front of her, then?
To avoid further humiliation as well as to save his own self-esteem, Luo Jiang directly tore up his notebook. The hallway was thus covered with torn papers.
He stepped on the flowers as well. "Since you don't want it, this notebook is worthless. What's the use of keeping worthless things?"
Ning Shu looked indifferently at the furious Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang looked like a dog biting his own tail.
He was sensitive and irritable, as well as childish and incompetent.
He had nothing, yet he was so full of himself. He thought the heavens were the boss, and he was the heavens' second-in-command.
Ning Shu locked the door and walked past Luo Jiang. She looked back at the pieces of paper in the hallway and said, "Clean up the hallway. It's all messy now."
Luo Jiang's face was as colorful as a palette.
Ning Shu didn't say much. She just turned and left, leaving Luo Jiang even more annoyed.
Luo Jiang grabbed the scraps of paper on the ground and tore them to shreds.
Ning Shu only smiled. He should cease wishing for even a single penny from her, let alone kissing her, touching her thighs, and so on...
Ning Shu went to the inconspicuous spot in the park and opened the jar she'd left behind yesterday. There was a centipede, a toad, a small snake, and many spiders in the jar.
Holy, this park was quite dangerous.
These animals were motionless inside the jar. They probably had eaten the earthworms Ning Shu had mixed with medicinal powder. There wasn't so much as even a wiggle now.
Ning Shu picked up the jar and covered it with the lid. She put it in her bag and went home.
When she walked back, she saw that the scrap papers in the hallway hadn't been cleaned up. They were still all over the floor.
Ning Shu didn't bother with it. She just opened her door, entered, and closed it.
Luo Jiang, who was watching Ning Shu through the peephole, felt indescribable anger. He'd never seen such a hateful woman before.
She was not cute at all!
Luo Jiang was furious. This damned girl was like a curled-up hedgehog. He didn't know how to start approaching her.
Was he supposed to be rough?
Or gentle?
Should he keep things vague?
Should he play hard to get?
Even when he did such a romantic thing, that wench actually ridiculed him for failing the course. What the hell!?
Luo Jiang and Ning Shu didn't connect at all.
Luo Jiang scratched his hair.
Ning Shu headed back to her room and locked the door. She then took out the jar and poured some medicinal powder into it.
The things in the jar gradually stirred. When they felt other creatures in the jar, they immediately became alert and formed a tense deadlock.
They stared at each other in a tense atmosphere. A desperate battle could break out at any time.
Ning Shu released the few traces of spiritual energy she had cultivated in the past few days into the jar. The little things in the jar thus turned restless.
Ning Shu closed the lid and put the jar at the bottom of her bed. However, the jar didn't keep still at all.

Chp 2477: Girls Must Learn to Protect Themselves
Ning Shu moved the jar into the closet so that the jar's movement wouldn't be so conspicuous. What if Mother Hu was cleaning up the room and swept out the jar from the bottom of the bed? If she opened it, she'd see snakes, toads, and all sorts of insect corpses.
She would probably think that her daughter had gone crazy.
As it happened, Mother Hu complained about another thing during dinner. "Someone threw so many paper shreds in the hallway. I've no idea who it is. I guess it was probably some kid."
Ning Shu took a sip of the soup. Some kid?
Luo Jiang was already 28 years old, so he wasn't a child. Though to a certain extent, he was indeed a manchild.
He couldn't survive on his own and didn't even have a source of income. Instead, he leeched off his parents to live. On top of that, he still had a massive, bursting ego.
Ning Shu obediently confessed, "It was Luo Jiang, the guy from next door. He brought his calculus notebook over, but I didn't want it, so he tore it up in anger."
"Don't associate with this kind of people," Father Hu immediately said. "Putting it nicely, he's juvenile and full of energy. Putting it badly, he's childish and immature. He's pretty much a bum. What if he does something to you?
"After graduating college, he just lazed around at home without a conscience. How could Old Luo's small salary be enough to support all of them?" Father Hu looked at Ning Shu. "You're a girl. Don't associate with that kind of person.
"Yes, we live in an open society, and men and women are equal now. This means that lots of new ideas have sprouted up, but not everything has been accepted. If something happens, you are the one who will be hurt. Girls must learn to protect themselves."
Keeping oneself clean had nothing to do with being conservative. It wasn't about overpowering men, either, in that respect. Even if something did happen, one needed to face it with a calm heart.
The physiological structure had already determined that the girls would be the ones hurt.
Ning Shu nodded very obediently. "I know, Dad."
Hu Duo had gotten pregnant in the original storyline. Eventually, she fell down the stairs in the hallway and got a miscarriage.
Holy, the amount of blood that she lost...
It was Hu Duo who suffered all the pain. All Luo Jiang did was stand by the hospital bed and said sorry.
Ning Shu served Father Hu and Mother Hu each a bowl of rice.
Having taken two days off because of a cold, Ning Shu went to school early the next day.
Hu Duo's university was highly selective, and it was close to home. Back then, Hu Duo stayed up every night to study so she'd get to come home every day. Indeed, she finally got accepted to this university.
She had only studied there for two years. Then, her brain went mush, and she dropped out of school.
She had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and then miscarried. Her boyfriend was also a prodigal playboy. She had died without being able to get married, too.
Her life was, in short, a tragedy.
Although Hu Duo sometimes realized how weird some things were, she became mentally inept whenever she saw Luo Jiang, to the point that she felt no hesitations or regrets at all.
Ning Shu wondered if all women who had an intimate relationship with Luo Jiang would end up being deadly in love with him.
Ning Shu rubbed her face. She was speechless in bold capital letters. If one's mental strength was too weak, one would be easily affected and defeated by the halo.
Ning Shu went downstairs to the carport to pick up her bicycle, only to see Luo Jiang holding the bicycle handle. He was wearing a white shirt, looking like a clean boy from a distance.
Ning Shu: →_→
It was like she was being haunted...
Ning Shu walked into the carport. Luo Jiang took out his car key and said, "Hu Duo, I'll take you to school."
"I don't want to go with you," Ning Shu refused. "I can ride the bike myself. I don't need you to take me to school.
"If you have time to send me to school, you should write a resume and apply for a job. Your family relies on your father to support the whole family. Your mother's health isn't great, yet you don't know how to share your family's burden," Ning Shu berated.
She poked wherever it hurt.
Luo Jiang had a massive ego. He couldn't stand the reprimand and preaching of others.
When Luo Jiang heard what Ning Shu said, his face suddenly turned ugly, but he endured it.
Ning Shu pushed the bicycle and prepared to go.
However, Luo Jiang stretched out his hand and grabbed the back seat of Ning Shu's bicycle.

Chp 2478: What’s Wrong?
"What do you want?" Ning Shu expressionlessly stared at Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang helplessly said, "Duoduo, why are you rejecting me so much now?"
"Am I?" Ning Shu said, pushing the bicycle handles with all her might, so Luo Jiang clutched the back seat tightly.
Then, Ning Shu suddenly backed the bike heavily. The back seat and wheel of the bicycle hit Luo Jiang in the area above his thighs and below his lower abdomen.
Luo Jiang was caught off guard by being hit at that spot. He abruptly heaved out a groan of pain, clutching his legs and covering his bottom.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Ning Shu asked, seemingly flustered. She threw the bicycle aside, and it smashed into Luo Jiang again.
Luo Jiang was currently hunched over, so the bicycle fell on his back. He groaned again.
Ning Shu hurriedly went to help Luo Jiang, but Luo Jiang hurriedly stretched out his hand. "Stay away!"
Luo Jiang's body was shaking in pain.
Ning Shu looked guilty and apologetic. "Are you alright? We should go to the hospital."
"It's alright," Luo Jiang said. His neck was red, and he was panting heavily.
"Fuck! I'm about to become disabled. Hurry up and give me some pain relief!" Luo Jiang roared at the take down system inwardly.
A cool breeze washed Luo Jiang's groin, gradually easing the pain that would've sent people into shock.
"Are you really alright?" Ning Shu asked again.
Luo Jiang, who was hunched over, straightened up. His face was no longer pale. He didn't look like he was enduring any pain. He said, "I'm alright."
Ning Shu: →_→ So this was possible?
Ning Shu hadn’t known that such a thing was possible. She advised him, "I know a man's special spot is fragile. You don't have to endure it. Just go to the hospital."
Luo Jiang shook his head. "I'm really okay."
Ning Shu feigned a sigh of relief. "Good."
She picked up her bicycle and rode away.
Ning Shu was really puzzled. Was Luo Jiang's groin made out of metal? How could it be okay after that?
Initially, his eyes had already rolled back from the pain, but it didn't take long for him to stop hurting.
He probably had some help from the system. This take down system sure was a kind one.
Luo Jiang's stared at Ning Shu's retreating back with red eyes. Although he didn't feel much pain, his groin felt scalding hot.
He feels like the balls were swollen.
Luo Jiang hurried back home and rinsed it with cold water.
Since he now had a system, he thought that he'd have great luck with girls from now on. However, before he could even set out to the sea, he'd been shot to death by one of the fish who lived next door and whose looks were barely passable.
"Can you reduce the swelling for me?" Luo Jiang said to the system.
When he touched it, he felt that the area was scorching. It was as if he'd put a hand warmer between his legs, and it was so swollen.
It didn't hurt, but he still felt sore.
"Will this affect my ability?" Luo Jiang cried. He was slightly breaking down. If that were the case, then how would he be able to continue conquering beauties?
"It's a warning this time," the take down system grimly said.
Luo Jiang scratched his hair. "Is this how it is? Is picking up girls normally this difficult?"
Luo Jiang's self-confidence was now depleting. Since taking down a girl who'd only barely passed the passing line was this difficult, how much more challenging would it be to take down those high-end beauties?
This game was so hard!
"This is because everyone has a different mental strength level. Some people are strong, and some are weak. I've already helped you a lot.
"When women are with you, they see you through a fan’s rosy-colored glasses, which automatically filter out all your flaws and shortcomings."

Chp 2479: Mental Strength Is Probably Stronger Than Average
What rosy-colored glasses? What automatic filter of all his flaws and shortcomings?
Luo Jiang didn't buy it. If that was true, how come whenever he was with Hu Duo, that wench always purposefully said hateful things and poked him just where it hurt?
"What about Hu Duo? Does she look like a brainless fan whenever she looks at me? What fan would be so bitter and mean?" Luo Jiang said in bafflement.
Not only was she so harsh at him, she even bumped him on purpose. Sure, she sincerely apologized to him...
But still, Luo Jiang felt that she had bumped him on purpose.
"As I've just said, their mental strength determines how much they're affected. Your childhood friend's mental strength is probably stronger than average," the take down system coldly said.
Luo Jiang scratched his head, then continued rinsing his numb balls with cold water.
They were so swollen...
Ning Shu rode a bicycle to school and went to class. Because of the delay caused by Luo Jiang, Ning Shu was already late. Ning Shu hunched over and entered the classroom quietly.
The original host was a foreign language major. It was a bit complicated since it delved into the language of several foreign countries.
Fortunately, Ning Shu's memory had become better. Remembering words and their roots was easy for her.
Moreover, the foreign language major was also pretty great. When she goes abroad in the future, she wouldn't need people to translate for her. She could also get a good job as a translator, whether she took it as a full-time or part-time job.
Ning Shu felt very relaxed as she sat in the classroom and learned. At the very least, she didn’t have to fight.
This was a very peaceful world.
After she finished all her classes for the day, Ning Shu rode her bike back home. On the road back, she looked at all the students carrying their books as they walked with their friends, as well as the young couples.
Ning Shu felt like she’d become younger. Youth was truly such a beautiful time in life and the ivory tower was such a wonderful place to live in.
Ning Shu returned home and took out the jar she’d put in her closet. Ning Shu leaned closer to the jar and listened to the movement inside.
Ning Shu opened the lid to take a look. The last one that survived was a toad, but it didn’t become a demonic poison creature. Seeing this, she rolled her eyes.
Although it had somehow managed to survive until the end, it didn't become a demonic poison creature.
The chances of successfully making a demonic poison creature seemed very low in this world. Ning Shu had to think of another way.
She opened the drawer and took out a needle that shone dimly.
It seemed like she had no other choice. Her only way was to make Luo Jiang's thing a decoration with no function except peeing.
However, as long as the take down system was still here, it'd probably help him if anything went wrong.
Luo Jiang's balls had clearly hurt, but the pain stopped quickly afterward.
Ning Shu could only admit respect for this system.
If Luo Jiang lost his little junior, would the system help him grow it back? Would it reconnect with the lost one?
It'd depend on how much resources the system would be willing to spend on Luo Jiang.
On the other side, Luo Jiang decided to go to the hospital. He went there to get help reducing the swelling and inflammation.
After a night's sleep, his balls had turned even more swollen. It scared Luo Jiang nearly to death.
Although he felt no pain or numbness, it only made him feel more frightened.
Luo Jiang went to the hospital and took off his pants to show his symptoms to the doctor.
He went to the andrology department but unexpectedly met a beautiful doctor. It was pretty strange that there was a female doctor in the andrology department, but she was even gorgeous.
The beautiful doctor, who'd already gotten used to seeing 'big scenes,’ actually blushed when she saw Luo Jiang's little brother for some reason.
When Luo Jiang heard the system say that this beautiful doctor had about 80 points, he was immediately delighted.
He got to see a beautiful woman with nearly 80 points when he came to see a doctor.
Luo Jiang stared at the beautiful doctor with fiery eyes.
