Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

Looking at the dark cave entrance in front of him, Lin Ba shouted to Ji Boxiao on the ground:

"Big Yellow, you go in first and scout ahead."

"Woof!"

Before Ji Boxiao could react, Lin Ba kicked it inside.

After a while, once he was sure there was no danger inside, Lin Ba turned on his flashlight and went inside.

The cave was simple and narrow.

After searching around, Lin Ba and Ji Boxiao found two things.

They were a piece of scrap metal and a secret manual.

But Lin Ba, who was well-versed in online novels, naturally wouldn't really regard this piece of scrap metal as just that.

Perhaps this piece of scrap metal is actually Lu Chen's greatest opportunity.

So Lin Ba used the system's scan function to scan it.

[Ding! Scan successful!]

This object looks like scrap metal, but it is actually "devouring iron" that can absorb weapons. As long as it is fed, it can transform into any weapon shape.

Upon seeing the explanation provided by the system, a look of surprise flashed in Lin Ba's eyes.

This stuff looks like it's way too much!

"System, how do I use this thing? Will it require me to bleed?"

[No need! Please wait, we are initiating a connection between the Devouring Iron and the host...]

[Ding! Connection successful!]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Lin Ba felt that he could control the Devouring Iron at will, turning it into various shapes!

He closed his eyes and sketched the shape of a sword in his mind...

When the shape in his mind became clear enough, the Devouring Iron in his hand also began to change shape.

The lump of iron, like black mud that had come to life, changed from a rough surface to a smooth one, and its shape gradually narrowed from a blurry mass into a slender outline...

soon!

A narrow-bladed longsword, entirely black, appeared in his hand.

Lin Ba instinctively swung his sword at the wall.

"Whoosh!"

A clear sword mark immediately appeared on the wall.

On the other hand, the longsword, which was transformed from the devouring iron, showed no signs of wear or damage.

Lin Ba nodded in satisfaction, then transformed the longsword into a bracelet and wore it on his wrist.

Seeing this, Ji Boxiao, standing to the side, looked on with envy in his dog eyes.

"Damn it! If this guy hadn't caught me, this treasure might have been mine!"

Ji Boxiao was filled with regret.

Why did I have to run out and wander around like that?

Why don't you just stay quietly in the guardhouse?

The more it looked, the more distressed it became, hating that it was now a dog and could do nothing!

Lin Ba then began to examine another manual.

After the system's evaluation, Lin Ba discovered that this was just an ordinary introductory martial arts manual.

It's probably meant to be used by Lu Chen to learn martial arts.

Unfortunately, they all belong to Lin Ba now.

Lin Ba put the martial arts manual into his pocket, but in reality, he put it into the system space to gather dust.

Anyway, this manual is of no use to him.

After confirming that nothing had been forgotten, Lin Ba decided to give the protagonist a surprise, as usual.

He took out the 10 C4 remote-controlled bombs that the system had rewarded him with, and placed them in different locations to ensure that they would cover all areas when they exploded.

Finally, place another camera to track when Lu Chen arrives.

After finishing the setup, Lin Ba nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his masterpiece.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he began to reward Ji Boxiao, who was standing to the side.

"Big Yellow, you did a great job today, you found two treasures."

"So, if you subtract two from ten, you're left with eight little fat dogs!"

"However, I'm a soft-hearted person, so I'll round it down for you."

"Rounded up or down, that makes ten little fat dogs!"

After hearing this, Ji Boxiao looked at Lin Ba as if he were a devil!

Is this something a human being would say?

What does it mean to round eight to ten? Even math teachers wouldn't dare teach it like that!

The more Ji Boxiao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he prepared to bare his teeth at Lin Ba to express his dissatisfaction.

But as soon as it bared its teeth, I felt a chill on my neck.

The piece of devouring iron transformed into a longsword once more, held against its dog's neck...

Lin Ba looked at it with a half-smile, his tone mocking:

"What's wrong, Big Yellow? You seem pretty resentful?"

Feeling the chill on its neck, Ji Boxiao almost peed its pants in fright; it didn't want to die like this!

Its dog face quickly forced a fawning smile, and its two paws once again begged Lin Ba for mercy.

Seeing this, Lin Ba slowly withdrew his longsword.

Ji Boxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Ba sheath his sword.

Its gaze toward Lin Ba unconsciously carried a hint of fear.

This person is terrifying; he threatens to chop you up at the drop of a hat.

Thinking of this, it felt saddened by its future and didn't know how many more chapters it would survive...

Lin Ba, who was standing to the side, saw Ji Boxiao's fear and was satisfied.

He picked up Ji Boxiao's dog head, preparing to use the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique to leave this place.

"Let's go, Big Yellow, let's go back!"

"Woof!"

......

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ba was extremely busy during those three days!

As the richest man in the country, he needs to conduct business collaborations, so he has to talk to one or two girls every day about a big deal.

Today it's Gu Zhi Qiu, tomorrow it's Tang Rui, and the day after tomorrow it's Ye Meng Yao and Su Yu Qing...

This caused his net worth to plummet by more than 10 billion.

It's only because he's the son of Jiangcheng's richest man that he can spend so many billions every day...

At the Linhai University square, the freshmen were divided into teams according to their classes and were ready to head to the training ground.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Chen and Ji Chen, thanks to their recovery speed as chosen ones, successfully caught up with this training exercise.

The two men were lively and energetic; from their appearance, it would be hard to tell that either of them was missing a kidney...

"Brother, how do we test Lin Ba and Sun Minghui?"

Ji Chen moved closer to Lu Chen and asked for his opinion.

Lu Chen didn't intend to hide his thoughts, and immediately revealed a wise smile, saying with a smile:

"That's easy. I'll just find some excuse to leave the group, and then, with my skills, I'll hide on the mountain and throw stones at those two!"

"Whoever manages to dodge my sneak attack is the one who plotted against us before!"

After listening, Ji Chen couldn't help but frown, his tone somewhat questioning:

"Big brother, are you sure you can do this? You got completely fooled last time!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and a confident look appeared on his face:

"Last time was last time, now is now. My leg is all healed, what am I afraid of?"

He paused, then, fearing Ji Chen wouldn't believe him, added:

"Besides, even if he finds out, so what? As long as I admit my mistake first, he can't possibly beat me to death in front of so many people, can he?"

Ji Chen thought about it for a moment and agreed that Lu Chen's words made sense, so he nodded.

"That's true..."

"Don't worry, second brother, you won't need to lift a finger this time. Just wait and see the show!"

Lu Chen patted Ji Chen on the shoulder, looking at Ji Chen with the kind of eyes that show concern for someone with intellectual disabilities.

This left Ji Chen speechless...
