Chapter 95: 093 Fu Yunshen: He’s turned into a beast【6 updates】

Zhong Zhiwan’s tensed fingers finally relaxed upon hearing this.

Not bad.

No matter what, Ying Zijin was still a poor student who failed to pass their classes.

She was going to enter Imperial Capital University, but what about Ying Zijin?

She probably couldn’t even get into a second-tier university.

Indeed, she couldn’t compare to her.

Zhong Zhiwan shook her head with a smile and left the school gate.

**

Apart from the incident of someone falsely claiming a piece of artwork, the art festival proceeded as usual.

Ying Zijin did not attend the award ceremony, but several of her 19th class underclassmen picked up the trophies for her.

After the art festival concluded, she received a transfer from the school authorities.

A total of two million.

She participated in seven competition events, and each first-class prize was one hundred thousand.

According to the principal’s intention, the remaining one million three hundred thousand was for compensation.

Ying Zijin, looking at the string of zeros in the text message, felt even more favorably towards Verdant.

In this school

She leaned back in her chair, raised her hand to tap on the keyboard, and clicked on the stock trading software.

After glancing at the overall market, Ying Zijin sold off the ten million shares she had bought last month in a single transaction.

Afterward, she opened the NOK login program.

Although she knew that there weren’t many people on the NOK forum, as long as one had the login program, anybody could register an account.

This was also why the forum’s homepage had so many fortunetellers and idle users.

After all, not everyone was unaware of the hidden sections’ existence, and the login program wasn’t deliberately encrypted.

The homepage was no different from that of any ordinary forum, and there were even users serializing stories.

In terms of its layout design, the NOK forum wasn’t much different from other forums, quite ordinary.

However, this seemingly mundane forum was awash with countless pieces of information every second.

As soon as Ying Zijin entered, she scanned the homepage.

Today’s hot post was for assistance.

The post had been created ten minutes ago, but it had already received five hundred replies, and the popularity was still climbing.

Ying Zijin lowered her gaze and opened this post.

[Help]: The owner just went on a trip to Continent O, save me!

[1F]: As the title suggests, after I finally saved some money, I could afford to travel. I’ve never been abroad despite my age, so I joined a tour group to Continent O.

Everything was cheerful on the journey, I even bought a doughnut to eat and went for a walk by the sea, but do you know what I saw?

The Little Mermaid statue smiled at me!!!

Yes, that famous Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Andersen’s fairy tales, not only smiled but also nodded at me.

It’s beautiful, but it’s scary!

Help, is this Little Mermaid going to come to life like the Chinese conch girl?

[2F]: The owner has lost their mind, disperse now.

[3F]: Although I’m a fortuneteller myself, I must admit, the owner’s storytelling skills are truly impressive.

…

[157F]: Did you dream during the trip? No worries, I’ve got a spiritual tonic here, only 9999 per pill, no refunds if it doesn’t work.

[158F]: No pictures, no talk. The forum has seen an influx of people with mental problems recently.

…

[474F]: Holy shit, did you encounter it too? I went last year and saw it too, at the time I thought I was just seeing things.

[475F]: I’ve been there too, why didn’t I see it?

After browsing through the replies one by one, Ying Zijin’s eyes flickered slightly.

As she scrolled further down, she saw that the original poster had replied.

[738F]: Bullshit, of course I have a picture, I not only have a picture but also a video.

[739F]: [Video], here you go!

Ying Zijin’s eyebrows rose as she opened the video.

However, as soon as she did, the forum indicated that the video did not exist.

Upon refreshing, the plea for help disappeared.

Clearly, it had been forcibly deleted by an administrator.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment and roughly understood.

This was the homepage, where ordinary people clustered, so posts related to world secrets were not allowed.

She also knew of a hidden section on the NOK forum, which required certain Growth Points to enter.

To view the various hunter leaderboards, one also needed Growth Points to decode.

Ying Zijin looked at her user information, contemplating.

This was a new account she had registered after getting the login program from a certain hacker.

ID: Cola Milk Tea Fries

Growth Points: 8

Level: F-Level

Registration Date: March 16, 2020

Logging into the NOK forum once earned you 2 Growth Points, which was a benefit for new accounts.

Ying Zijin scrolled down with her mouse and looked at a few other interesting posts.

[Bounty]: Discovered the ruins of Atlantis, looking to form a team, need healing, need warrior, come quickly.

[Discussion]: Every night, a black cat follows me, what does it want?

[Money to Burn]: The monthly test results came out today, I ranked first in the grade. Randomly giving away money to the first 100 floors, 10 Growth Points per person.

Growth Points could be traded, but if they became negative, the account would be banned.

Although registering an account does not require an ID or any proof, and posting is anonymous, the peculiar part is that once an account is banned, it’s impossible to register a new NOK account again.

Some suspect that behind the NOK forum is a super hacker organization, but there’s no evidence.

After browsing through several pages, Ying Zijin finally spotted the post she needed.

[Reward]: Seeking a master to help solve a college problem.

[1st Floor]: As the title says, our school is too perverted, it has come up with a chemistry problem that can’t be found online, but it’s definitely of world-class difficulty. Any master who can solve it? A generous reward of Growth Points will be given.

Below the floor post, a reward letter was automatically generated.

It had a thousand Growth Points marked on it.

The level was set at C.

Ying Zijin lowered her gaze and took up the challenge.

A box immediately popped up on the screen.

[Ding, your current level is F. Please level up before undertaking higher-level rewards.]

Ying Zijin’s face was expressionless.

Three seconds later, she opened fifty F-level challenges all at the same time.

She completed them rapidly within five minutes.

All these challenges didn’t require showing one’s face; transactions could be done online.

The Growth Points soared to 500, and her level rose to D, but it wasn’t enough.

Ying Zijin pressed her temples and opened several dozen D-level challenges, continuing to level up.

She just needed to access the hidden section, but she really didn’t want to use her old account.

The moment that old account was used, her retired life would come to an end.

What a crappy forum, even with the internet as a carrier, it’s still as rubbish as before.

Saturday.

The Fu Family’s mansion was left with only Old Master Fu and a few caregivers.

Ying Zijin also made another trip to the Fu family’s old house to check on Old Master Fu’s internal toxin levels.

Since Old Master Fu was frail, she only used Golden Needle to contain the toxins for him, but without the medicinal herbs, she could not eradicate them.

More importantly, the situation in the Fu family was currently very complicated, with many people hoping for Old Master Fu to pass on sooner.

Even Old Master Fu’s outings were under surveillance.

Last time she invited Grandpa Fu to have cake, numerous bodyguards followed him.

After letting Grandpa Fu fall asleep, Ying Zijin walked out.

Fu Yunshen was waiting outside. Seeing her, his peach-blossom eyes smiled, “Yaoyao, thank you.”

“No thanks needed,” Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, “How long until the medicinal herbs arrive?”

“On the way,” Fu Yunshen did not hide it, “They’ll arrive by the end of the month.”

The bounty had been increased tenfold, and the hunters on the list could hardly resist the temptation.

So, even if the herbs were in the desert or deep sea, they would go.

Ying Zijin nodded, “Grandpa Fu is asleep now. His emotions can’t fluctuate too much, or if the toxins reach his heart, it will be troublesome.”

“Brother knows,” Fu Yunshen’s gaze darkened but immediately softened up with a smile, “Let’s go to the mall. I’ll buy you some clothes, consider it a birthday present from your brother.”

The two got into the car.

Ying Zijin took the passenger’s seat, leaning against the window, and closed her eyes.

She quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Fu Yunshen turned his head, his gaze slightly lowered.

The girl’s skin was still almost transparent but no longer had that sickly pallor.

Compared to when he first saw her, her complexion had improved a lot.

He felt a sense of satisfaction like he had successfully nurtured a child.

Dudu was in Ying Zijin’s pocket, also lying down asleep.

The little pink nose twitched, happily humming.

Fu Yunshen’s lips curled slightly, he pressed the accelerator and started the car.

Thirty minutes later, the Maserati parked in front of Century Mall in the city center.

Ying Zijin was still sleeping.

When asleep, her usual aloofness faded away.

Her typically indifferent brows and eyes loosened up, the curves and lines became soft.

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

He kept his eyes fixed ahead, but his hand lifted.

Moving slowly forward, then he poked the girl’s face.

It felt soft and squishy, very bouncy.

He only poked once before withdrawing his hand.

But to his surprise, Ying Zijin remained asleep, not even her eyelashes fluttered.

Fu Yunshen’s peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, eyebrows raised, he turned his body directly towards her.

Leaning on his hand, he watched her, his eyelashes drooping.

His other hand lifted again and poked Ying Zijin’s face.

This time he lingered longer, and through his fingertips, he could clearly feel the softness that was all hers.

It was as if he was holding a piece of soft jade.

Fu Yunshen paused for a while, intending to pull back his hand, but couldn’t resist poking her face for the third time.

Suddenly, Ying Zijin stirred, and her eyes opened.

Mist swirled in her just-awakened phoenix eyes, filled with water light, dotted with stars.

She lifted her head as if sensing something.

Fu Yunshen’s hand froze.

Their gazes intersected, meeting each other’s.
