Chapter 99 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

The next morning.

Xu Zhiyi was woken up by her biological clock on time.

The sound of raindrops pattering against the window drifted in; the rain was heavier than yesterday.

Due to the typhoon, the weather will remain cloudy and rainy for the next week.

The dew cannot be collected.

Fortunately, he had persisted in collecting them every day, and there are still quite a few items left in his storage bag.

However, the storage bag wasn't very spacious inside; it was almost full of various materials.

Oh, and we could also craft another storage bag!

Anyway, the material for storage bags isn't expensive.

The most expensive of these is the ethereal stone, which is diamond.

Last time he was in such a hurry that he went straight to a jewelry store and spent 28,000 yuan to buy a 1-carat natural loose diamond.

It wasn't until the storage bag was finished being crafted that they belatedly realized what had happened.

You can totally buy diamonds on secondhand platforms!

A 1-carat natural loose diamond can be yours for just a few thousand dollars.

Of course, whether it's authentic or not is another matter.

Anyway, he wasn't afraid of being ripped off, so he immediately placed an order for three 1-carat natural loose diamonds on a second-hand platform. The total cost was just over 10,000 yuan, and he even asked the seller to deliver them to his door for free.

The reason for buying three diamonds at once is that crafting the [Mystic Spirit Heart-Protecting Armor] also requires two Void Stones.

He already knew what the high-quality silk, sturdy fabric, and tough leather were, and he could buy them online.

Taking advantage of not going for his morning exercise today, he placed a flurry of orders on his phone, buying everything he could.

The only problem is that we still don't have a clue about high-quality fabrics and leathers.

He searched online and found a huge variety of leathers and fabrics. He could only pick a few of the more expensive ones and order them to see if they would work.

If that doesn't work, I'll still try to make a trip to the wholesale market when I have some free time.

After placing all the orders, he got out of bed, practiced the "Hun Yuan Tu Na Jue" as usual, then got dressed and went downstairs to the bathroom to wash up.

The landlord was already up.

He couldn't go to the park to exercise today either, so he cooked a pot of golden millet porridge at home, boiled three eggs, and served it with pickled vegetables and steamed buns. He then called Xu Zhiyi to eat with him.

Xu Zhiyi didn't stand on ceremony either.

After finishing his meal, he voluntarily washed the dishes and then went out to school.

The autumn rain continued incessantly, and the sky was gloomy and gray.

Xu Zhiyi took out a folding umbrella, pushed open the door, and stepped into the rain.

I left home a little late today, and the bus stop was already packed with people.

He finally managed to squeeze onto the bus, but he was still almost late when he arrived at the school gate.

As he arrived at the classroom door, before he even went inside, he heard a lively discussion coming from inside.

"Xu Zhiyi is really popular now! This video alone has over four million views!"

"I saw it too! It's really popular!"

"Do you guys know how many fans Xu Zhiyi has now? I heard last time she had almost 600,000?"

"It's definitely more than that now! His recent videos have been very popular, even trending locally, with such a high level of discussion. I estimate it must have at least 700,000 views, right?"

"Seven hundred thousand? You underestimate him! I checked last night before bed and he already had seventy-seven thousand!"

Xu Zhiyi walked into the classroom and found Wang Kai and several classmates gathered together, their heads close together, staring at a mobile phone screen.

The group's eyes lit up the moment they saw him enter.

"Xu Shen has arrived!"

Wang Kai rushed over and shoved his phone in front of him, exclaiming, "Look! Look! You've got 80 followers! Holy crap! 80! You're really going to be a huge internet celebrity!"

Xu Zhiyi glanced at the screen.

This is his account homepage.

The number of followers above has now reached 80.2.

The price increased by tens of thousands overnight.

"Let me see, let me see!"

Several other classmates also gathered around, staring at the string of numbers with amazement and envy in their eyes.

"It really is 80!"

"This is amazing! Even our school's account doesn't have this many followers!"

"Xu Zhiyi, you're now the biggest internet celebrity in our school!"

"If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other, Master Xu!"

"Being good at modeling means you can do whatever you want!"

Some people were extremely envious.

"Xu Zhiyi isn't just good at modeling!" the girl sitting in front of Xu Zhiyi said earnestly. "I've watched all of Xu Zhiyi's videos, from his early rat hunting videos to his later videos of plecos and alligator gars. The quality of his videos has gotten better and better, and they're very engaging, which is why he's so popular!"

Another girl with a ponytail chimed in, "Exactly! What's the use of just being handsome? There are plenty of good-looking guys and girls online. You need real talent too!"

Wang Kai, beaming with excitement, deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, "Some people said before that his popularity comes and goes quickly, and that no one will remember him in a few days! They also said that he should focus on his studies and that if he does all this nonsense, his grades will drop sooner or later!"

Hey! I never expected our Xu Shen to be so capable!

The number of fans is increasing, and now a single video can earn several thousand yuan just from views, which is more than our parents' salary in a month!

Most importantly, Xu Shen's grades also improved dramatically, and he ranked second in the class!

Those secretly envious must be furious, right?

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Mingyu.

Although he did not name names, everyone knew who he was talking about.

Zhou Mingyu's face immediately turned ugly.

Moreover, he couldn't explain or refute it, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting that he was jealous. He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything and continue doing his practice problems.

But he could only swallow back the anger that was simmering inside him.

It made me feel even more uncomfortable.

All the humiliation and hardship we endure stem from insufficient firepower!

It's just that he hasn't improved enough!

"Alright, alright."

Xu Zhiyi patted Wang Kai on the shoulder, signaling him that that was enough.

"The bell is about to ring, everyone go back to your seats."

Wang Kai glanced smugly at Zhou Mingyu, then turned and returned to his seat.

The other students also dispersed one after another.

Xu Zhiyi sat down, opened her English notebook, and began to memorize words and phrases.

With his current memory, he can memorize this information by simply going through it once.

Twenty minutes later, he went through all the words and phrases he needed to memorize this week, and then opened his Chinese notes to review the interpretations of several classical Chinese texts.

The math teacher arrived after morning self-study ended.

The math teacher was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses. His teaching style was rigorous and meticulous, and his handwriting on the blackboard was as neat as printed text.

This lesson is still about the test paper from the last test.

Mathematics is Xu Zhiyi's forte!

However, he still listened very attentively.

Because math can't be learned by rote memorization. Formulas, definitions, and theorems are just the basics. The important thing is to understand the logical thinking!

According to the math teacher, to learn math well, you need to listen more, ask more questions, think more, reflect more, summarize more, and understand more.

After the math teacher left, the English teacher came.

Both are in their forties, but their personalities are completely different. Not only is his teaching style lively, but he also likes to interact with students, creating a much better classroom atmosphere.

Xu Zhiyi's English is her weak point, so she listened very attentively.

The day's classes have ended.

The rain was still quite heavy when school ended.

"Is Xu Shen going to Liangxi Bridge again today?" Wang Kai asked with a smile.

Xu Zhiyi shook her head and said irritably, "Do you really think I'm an animal? With this heavy rain, I definitely need to go home early."

"Then we can take the bus together."

The two were going the same way and were taking the same bus.

The difference is that Wang Kai's home is closer, only two stops away, and even walking isn't far, while Xu Zhiyi's home is farther away, a full fifteen stops away.

Not far away, Zhou Mingyu was standing by the roadside waiting for a car.

He watched as Xu Zhiyi was surrounded by Wang Kai and others as they walked towards the bus stop, and his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

He's been holding back his anger all day.

From the start of morning self-study, that jerk Wang Kai kept being sarcastic and openly and secretly targeting me, almost to the point of naming me. Unfortunately, my grades weren't good enough, so I couldn't refute him.

I don't know what kind of incredible luck Xu Zhiyi had!

It started with winning eight championships in one day at the sports meet.

A dramatic improvement in grades!

Fan base explodes!

The whole school is talking about him now.

"She's just an internet celebrity, what's so great about her?"

Just then, a black Audi stopped in front of him.

The car window rolled down, revealing a head with a perm and spiky haircut.

"Mingyu, get in the car."

The person who came was his cousin, Zhou Cheng.

At such a young age, he already runs a live streaming guild with dozens of streamers under his command.

Zhou Mingyu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, still in a bad mood. He casually asked, "Brother, what brings you here to pick me up today?"

"My second uncle is away on a business trip, and my aunt isn't feeling well, so she called me to come pick you up." Zhou Cheng glanced at him. "Why the long face? Who upset you?"

Zhou Mingyu was silent for two seconds, but couldn't help pointing in the direction of the bus stop, "Look, it's the one I told you about on the phone last time, the one who won eight championships in one day and was always in the limelight."

He's so smug now, everyone in the class fawns over him!

Zhou Cheng looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Xu Zhiyi standing in the crowd with an umbrella. Her tall and straight figure and perfect nine-head body made her stand out among the students.

"Xu Zhiyi? So the classmate you were talking about is him!"

A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"You know him?" Zhou Mingyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"I know him, I know him all too well." Zhou Cheng sneered, started the car and sped off. "Last time during the National Day holiday at Yuantouzhu, this kid made me look like a fool in public. I'm going to settle that score with him!"
