Wang Yan didn't even bother to pay attention to him, completely ignoring him as he walked out of the classroom.

He hasn't eaten all day.

I'm very hungry now.

Wang Yan didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Yue.

This, on the contrary, emboldened Zhou Yue.

He saw that Wang Yan had backed down and sneered.

"I've investigated you. Your parents are both dead, your family is poor, and your grades are average. What makes you, a poor kid, so close to Lin Youyou?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding classmates changed.

That's a really harsh thing to say.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan became angry: "You pursued her, did she say yes?"

Zhou Yue's expression froze.

Wang Yan continued, "She didn't agree, so you're here to interfere in my affairs on her behalf?"

"Are you the dog chained up in front of her house? When you see a stranger approaching her, you bark to get her attention."

The classroom fell into a deathly silence.

Zhou Yue's face flushed red, and he roared, "You're asking for death!"

He reached out and grabbed at Wang Yan's collar.

The next second, Wang Yan casually grabbed his wrist.

Zhou Yue tried to pull hard, but couldn't budge it.

His expression had just changed when Wang Yan stood up and punched him in the stomach.

boom!

Zhou Yue's eyes bulged out, his whole body arched like a shrimp, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

The entire class fell silent.

One punch.

The captain of the school basketball team was knocked to his knees by Wang Yan with a single punch.

Wang Yan looked down at him and said calmly, "Next time you try to show off, remember to kowtow to the other person, otherwise with your build, you'll get beaten to death."

Just then, Lin Youyou walked into the classroom carrying the documents.

Seeing Zhou Yue kneeling in front of Wang Yan, her face immediately turned cold.

"Zhou Yue, are you causing trouble in our class?"

Zhou Yue gritted his teeth: "He provoked me first!"

Wang Yan looked completely innocent.

"I had just woken up when he said I was poor and that I wasn't good enough to be near you, and then he even tried to hit me."

The students next to him immediately chimed in.

"It was indeed Zhou Yue who made the first move."

Lin Youyou's expression grew even colder. She had originally thought that ignoring Zhou Yue's pursuit would make him give up.

This way, both sides save face.

Little did she expect that the other party would only cause her trouble.

Then you can't blame her for not giving the other person face.

"Zhou Yue, I've said it many times, I don't like you, and please don't harass others in my name."

"Get out now!"

Zhou Yue clutched his stomach, still wanting to say something.

But after seeing Lin Youyou's eyes, for some reason, a chill ran through my heart.

He gave Wang Yan a final, venomous look before slinking away.

The classroom erupted in chaos the moment he left.

"Holy crap, Wang Yan, when did you become such a fighter?"

"Knocking Zhou Yue to his knees with one punch—that was so cool!"

"The school beauty helped you up this morning, the basketball team captain was beaten to his knees this afternoon, and tomorrow... oh no, tonight I bet the whole school will be talking about your exploits!"

Wang Yan waved his hand.

"Keep a low profile."

Everyone stared in silence at the spot where Zhou Yue had just knelt.

You call this being low-key?

Lin Youyou also gave Wang Yan a deep look.

She increasingly felt that the strange object Wang Yan had obtained was definitely not simple.

That power was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

Did Wang Yan obtain an item that increases his power?

Lin Youyou was very curious.

But now is not the time to ask further questions.

She walked up to the podium, clapped her hands, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce."

"At 7 p.m. tonight, the school will hold a masquerade party in the auditorium. Students who are going to attend will wear masks to enter, and those who are not going to attend will stay in the classroom for evening self-study."

The classroom suddenly became lively.

"Squad leader, do you know how to wear a formal dress?"

"Any pretty girls want to team up?"

"Pshaw, what's the point of a dance? Let's go back to the dorm and play video games!"

……

After Lin Youyou finished her announcement, she stepped down from the podium.

He approached Wang Yan with a face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, Wang Yan, my matter has caused you trouble."

"It's nothing."

Wang Yan didn't take Lin Youyou's apology seriously.

He didn't take the dog's provocation to heart at all.

Of course, this also taught the other party a lesson.

This way, Wang Yan had even less reason to take it to heart.

However, Lin Youyou's next sentence made his heart race.

"I see you've been sleeping all day, you probably haven't eaten yet. How about I treat you to a meal as an apology?"

"really?"

Wang Yan asked excitedly.

"Of course, it's just a meal."

Lin Youyou shrugged, not understanding why Wang Yan was so agitated.

"I ate a bit too much, please don't mind."

Looking into Wang Yan's eyes, Lin Youyou couldn't help but think of the tragic experience Wang Yan had recounted earlier that day.

So she comforted her, saying, "It's okay, you can eat as much as you want."

"That's great."

After saying that, Wang Yan, as if afraid that Lin Youyou would regret it, grabbed her and ran towards the cafeteria.

After half an hour.

Food pick-up point in the cafeteria.

"Insufficient balance, please top up and try again!"

Upon hearing this sound, Lin Youyou broke out in a cold sweat.

She had a thousand yuan in her card.

Wang Yan ate it all up just like that.

Wang Yan ate a total of 56 servings of a fast food meal that cost 18 yuan and included two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

56 servings!

They're human!

However, out of a final bit of politeness, Lin Youyou still asked stiffly.

"Um... I'm out of money in my card. Are you full? If not, I'll make you some more."

On the table, Wang Yan finished the last chicken leg and licked his lips.

"If you're out of money, then forget it. Being 80% full is fine. Thank you for your hospitality, class monitor. When I have money, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Uh...hehehe."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youyou's lips twitched, and she laughed helplessly.

He wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and then closed again.

I just can't make a sound.

All she wanted to know was what strange object Wang Yan possessed.

Is this for strengthening the body?

Or should we strengthen the stomach?

He finally looked at the clock before speaking.

"Right, it's almost time. Let's hurry to the auditorium; the masquerade ball is about to begin."

"A masquerade ball?"

Wang Yan really wanted to refuse; he didn't want to participate in such a meaningless activity.

However, considering that Lin Youyou had just treated him to a meal, which had cost her quite a bit, he couldn't help but think about how Lin Youyou had just treated him to a meal and that it had cost her a lot.

Wang Yan agreed anyway.

"Alright."

The words had barely left his mouth when a system notification suddenly appeared before him.

[A-grade artifact detected: Vibrating Shotgun, will be generated in 10 minutes!]

[Birthplace: Auditorium of Jiangdong No. 3 High School]

[Additional requirement for collecting Grade A artifacts: Obtain the "Most Watched" achievement in the Grand Hall.]

Grade A rare item?

Wang Yan instantly perked up.

Having already witnessed the power of the Seven Deadly Sins Mask, Wang Yan naturally knew just how strong an A-grade artifact could be.

So now that it's in his radar, we have to take it down.

However, to Wang Yan's surprise, there were certain conditions that needed to be met in order to collect A-grade rare items.

it's wired.

If this condition is not a system requirement, but a rule that everyone must follow.

How do other people outside the industry obtain A-level artifacts?

Wang Yan was puzzled and planned to investigate later.

However, he is now focusing his attention on the collection conditions.

To put it simply, being the center of attention at tonight's masquerade party means becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Is this difficult?

It's difficult for others.

For him, it was simple.

The simplest way would definitely be to rush onto the stage and demonstrate your superpowers.

However, Wang Yan realized that if he wanted to join an official organization in the future, jumping ship would probably not be an option.

Although the Panic Memory Pocket Watch can be used to modify the memories of those who see Wang Yan's superpowers.

But a rough estimate suggests that at least a hundred people would be there at that time.

Changing them one by one would exhaust Wang Yan.

The other method isn't difficult either.

Wang Yan's gaze slowly fell on Lin Youyou.

She's the school beauty, class monitor, and academic star, with many suitors; she's the focus of the school.

If he and Lin Youyou appear together tonight, and cause a little commotion...

It's hard not to be the center of attention.

Lin Youyou noticed his gaze and a strange sense of unease rose in her heart.

The next second, Wang Yan spoke up, a little embarrassed.

"Class monitor, um... do you need a dance partner for the masquerade party tonight?"

"..."

Lin Youyou didn't speak, she just stared intently at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan felt a little embarrassed by the stares.

They were all planning to give up on the idea.

Lin Youyou, however, agreed.

"Sure, but I have conditions."

"What? Anything I can do is fine."

"Then can you tell me what exactly this strange object you possess?"

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this request.

This request is neither excessive nor unreasonable.

For the wielder, revealing the abilities of a strange object is tantamount to showing their hand to others.

But for Wang Yan, it's not a big problem.

Because he can possess more than just one rare item.

As long as he has the system, he will have countless trump cards in the future.

They weren't afraid of having their underwear exposed at all.

"If it really doesn't work, then forget it. We can change our request."

Seeing that Wang Yan didn't reply for a long time, Lin Youyou said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's fine, this will do. The artifact I possess is an A-rank artifact, the Seven Deadly Sins Mask."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Youyou's pupils dilated in shock, and she unconsciously began to take a step back.

"A...A grade? Wang Yan, you're not kidding, are you? Do you know what that means?"

"What? So what if it's A-level?"

"I forgot, you're just a newbie. You need to understand that the difference between an A-grade artifact and an ordinary artifact is on a completely different level."

"Is it really that outrageous?"

"Oh dear, it's hard to explain in a short time. Just know that the difference between the two is huge."

Lin Youyou seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, I remember that mastering an A-grade artifact requires meeting certain conditions, so how did you manage to do it?"

"Luck, I guess," Wang Yan shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Lin Youyou was somewhat devastated. Why didn't she have such luck?

"By the way, are there significant side effects from using Grade A artifacts?"

"It's alright, I haven't used it much."

Wang Yan gave a casual remark and then hurriedly urged them on.

"Hey, class time's almost here, let's hurry up and get there."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Lin Youyou glanced at her watch, quickly nodded, tidied herself up, and hurried to the auditorium.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the other party did not press the matter further.

He had never seen what the side effects were, so he didn't know how to answer.

……

Meanwhile, Jiangdong No. 3 Middle School...

Two figures stood in the air, gazing down at Jiangdong No. 3 Middle School.

A figure wearing a pale mask and covered in a white tuxedo.

The other figure was hanging upside down on the cross, his body covered in bandages.

These were the two A-level calamities that Wang Yan had previously seen on the forum.

The Pale Mask and the Upside-Down Saint.

Looking down, Pale Mask's voice was icy.

"Saint, is your divine oracle truly accurate? Are you certain that a powerful being of your kind will be born here?"

The upside-down saint grinned, his voice sounding like a prayer.

"Mask, you must believe in God. God is omnipotent, and God is also silent."

"God said that a miracle will occur here. If it happens, it will be a gift from God. If it does not happen, it will be because it is not worthy of God's grace."

[Pale Mask] glanced sideways at her words, showing some disdain.

"Sounds strange, and it seems the Memory Eater's aura has disappeared."

Upon hearing this name, the Hanged Saint's expression twisted slightly.

Even the cross behind him creaked with a teeth-grinding sound.

"You are not allowed to mention that blasphemer in my presence!"

"She stole my followers! She altered their memories!"

"She made the lamb, who should have been kneeling before God in repentance, turn instead to call upon her own name!"

Finally, the upside-down saint suddenly laughed again.

"Dead! It's good that they're dead! Blasphemers should die! Hahahaha!"

Watching the increasingly frenzied [Upside-Down Saint], [Pale Mask] was somewhat speechless.

Why do all my fellow human beings seem to have had their brains kicked by a deer?

However, in his opinion, the disappearance of the [Memory Eater]'s aura was probably a sign of impending doom.

"When did this city become so dangerous?"
