Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Lan Xingyao counted on her fingers, introducing the S-level talents in the team one by one:

"Class Monitor Wanzhou, an S-rank assassin, can become invisible and can also deliver a critical hit to kill someone in one strike."

"Nuonuo, an S-class healer, can cure zombie viruses and even revive the dead."

"Teacher Wen, an S-class tank, can provide shields for all of us."

"Tang Yan is a lucky koi fish, an S-level lucky queen, her luck is ridiculously good, opening boxes is all thanks to her."

"Ruan Xueba, an S-rank support, can boost the attack power of our entire team."

After Lan Xingyao finished counting, she crossed her legs, patted Wu Maiduo's shoulder, and raised an eyebrow:

"With that white-haired girl included, our team now has six S-level talents!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Maiduo's pupils dilated in shock.

A team with 6 S-level talents?

Isn't this in the river?

If Jiang Chen could hear what Wu Maiduo was thinking, he would definitely add:

"In this river!"

"And it's in the Ganges!"

Wu Maiduo swallowed hard.

The team's strength far exceeded her expectations.

Especially Lu Wanzhou.

Wu Maiduo looked at the pink-haired girl who was grabbing Jiang Chen's ear.

Even with his "full field of vision," he'd probably have his throat slit by the time he saw Lu Wanzhou.

Moreover, Lu Wanzhou was incredibly fast, and he couldn't even react in time.

Sakura Hiyuki held a crimson katana, her crimson eyes fixed on Lu Wanzhou.

She never expected that this girl, who was so familiar with her master, was actually an S-class stealth assassin.

And its agility is an astonishing 82!

Sakura Hiyuki silently assessed the situation in her mind.

If I were to fight Lu Wanzhou, I'm not necessarily guaranteed a win.

As if sensing Ying Feixue's gaze, Lu Wanzhou stood up abruptly, her short pink hair swaying slightly with the movement.

She put her hands on her hips, raised her chin towards Ying Feixue, and looked at her with a smug look in her eyes:

"What? Are you scared by my strength?"

As she spoke, Lu Wanzhou put her left hand on her hip, raised her right thumb, and pointed the tip at herself:

"It's okay, we're all on the same side now, I'll protect you!"

Sakura Feixue turned her head away, too lazy to pay attention to Lu Wanzhou.

Lu Wanzhou was fuming.

She pointed at Ying Feixue, then turned to look at Jiang Chen:

"Xiao Chen! This is the woman you brought back!"

"They're all ignoring me! Humph!"

As she spoke, Lu Wanzhou put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks in front of Ying Feixue.

It looks just like a little hamster, and a pink-furred one at that.

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

Sakura Hiyuki thought for a moment, remembering that her master had said she should get along well with everyone.

So... what exactly constitutes a friendly relationship?

She was alone from a young age and had no friends.

I don't really know how to get along with others.

Lu Wanzhou probably wanted to get along better with me by contacting me.

So, isn't her posing like that a way of being friendly with me?

So, this formula appeared in Sakura Hiyori's mind:

Hands on hips + puffed-out cheeks = friendly interaction.

Ying Feixue followed Lu Wanzhou's example, stood up, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Lu Wanzhou.

And so, this comical scene unfolded on the bus.

A pink-furred hamster and a white-furred hamster, each with their paws on their hips and cheeks puffed out, are looking at each other...

Neither of them would back down, so they got closer and closer, each wanting to see who would give in first.

Lu Wanzhou and Ying Feixue are about the same height.

If you move your gaze downwards, you'll see a scene where pink waves are applied to white waves...

They're all squashed flat!

The girls burst into laughter.

Jiang Chen sighed softly.

Well, I guess Sakura Hiyori is already trying her best.

He took out the candy jar with a heart on it and the golden-glowing A-level talent upgrade book from his spatial backpack.

Jiang Chen stood up, walked to Wu Maiduo, and handed her the candy jar and the talent upgrade book:

"Maiduo, this candy jar is yours. It appeared in my inventory when you first joined the team. Here you go."

"Also, take this talent upgrade book and use it to upgrade your talent level."

Wu Maiduo froze, her baby face filled with disbelief.

She simply took the candy jar, waved her hands repeatedly at the A-level talent upgrade book, her voice trembling with excitement:

"Sports Commission! No! This is too valuable!"

"I just joined the team, I can't take something so important!"

Jiang Chen shoved the talent upgrade book directly into Wu Maiduo's arms.

Wu Maiduo instinctively caught the book, then looked down at the golden book in her hand, completely stunned.

Jiang Chen's tone was flat:

"From now on, we're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."

"With me, as long as you are willing to work hard, I will not treat you unfairly."

Wu Maiduo raised her head and looked into Jiang Chen's eyes.

In those eyes, there was no charity, no pity, only sincerity and trust for their companion.

Wu Maiduo's fingers tightened slightly as she held the talent upgrade book, her fingertips turning white.

My throat felt like it was blocked by something, and I couldn't speak.

All I could do was nod vigorously.

[Wu Maiduo's favorability rating: 70→80]

Jiang Chen turned his head and pinched Tang Yan's cheek:

"Little koi, with your incredible luck, could you help Maiduo upgrade her talent to S-rank?"

Tang Yan was hugging and kneading a white, chubby little bear doll.

Bai Nuonuo stood between Lu Wanzhou and Ying Feixue, looking up at the little hamsters' cheek-puffing battle.

Bai Nuonuo, that little girl, was even clapping as she watched...

Tang Yan's eyes lit up after hearing Jiang Chen's words:

"sure!"

After shoving the teddy bear back into Bai Nuonuo's hands, she stood up, stood on tiptoe, and faced Jiang Chen with her hands behind her back:

"But the old rule still applies: a kiss is required!"

Wu Maiduo looked at Lan Xingyao with some confusion.

She already considers Lan Xingyao, this E-person, as the team's know-it-all.

Lan Xingyao chuckled and leaned closer to explain:

"Tang Yan always has to personally check the treasure chests before she can get anything good."

She said her luck could only be triggered by kissing!

"I don't know if Tang Yan made up this excuse to take advantage of the sports committee, but it certainly worked!"

Wu Maiduo's lips twitched as she looked at Tang Yan:

"Then... Tang Yan, you little lucky charm, won't you give me a kiss?"

Tang Yan shook her head and pointed at Jiang Chen:

"Kissing you won't work, only kissing Brother Jiang Chen will."

Wu Maiduo looked at Jiang Chen, thinking he would refuse.

But Jiang Chen had already turned his face to the side, bringing his cheek close to Tang Yan, who was standing on tiptoe.

That indifferent expression clearly showed that he had gotten used to it.

Tang Yan tiptoed and gave Jiang Chen a quick kiss on the cheek.

After the kiss, he licked his lips, looking completely satisfied.

Seeing this, Lu Wanzhou stopped her cheek-puffing contest with Ying Feixue.

She quickly walked to the other side of Jiang Chen, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.

After kissing her, he raised his chin at Tang Yan.

Wu Maiduo was stunned.

His mouth was slightly open, and he didn't close it for a long time.

It seems... the sports committee member is quite popular among the girls!

This man truly respects and protects every woman around him from the bottom of his heart.

Sakura Hiyuki's crimson pupils contracted slightly.

She watched as Jiang Chen was kissed by two girls, and a sudden pang of jealousy rose in her heart.

The silver bells on her ankles jingled softly as she slightly tightened her jade-like toes.

After kissing Jiang Chen, Tang Yan touched the talent upgrade book in Wu Maiduo's hand.

Then she proudly puffed out her little chest towards Maido and patted it:

"Alright! Mydo, you can use it now. It'll definitely reach S-rank!"

Wu Maiduo used the [Grade A Talent Upgrade Book] in her hand with some skepticism.

The pages gleamed with gold, and the words on them seemed to come alive.

The next moment, the talent upgrade book shone brightly with golden light.

Then the golden light turned red.

The red light followed Wu Maiduo's hand and entered her body.
