American Comics: From Map Editor to Immortal Gods

Maria's heart was already riddled with holes, and she dared not trust anyone else easily anymore.

Maria instinctively looked in the direction of her best friend Lily, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

A blonde girl who looked rather sleazy looked over from afar. When she met Maria's pleading gaze, she instinctively turned her head away as if she hadn't seen her.

But when Lily saw Rowling's handsome appearance, unique temperament, and strong physique, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, handsome!"

Lily walked over enthusiastically, ignoring Maria's expectant gaze, and said forcefully to herself, "I'm so sorry, I'm her friend Lily. Maria is a very stupid person, please don't take her seriously."

"Do you know? She couldn't even speak a complete sentence fluently when she was six years old."

Seeing the mocking smile on Lily's lips, Maria quickly hid her smile and lowered her head in self-consciousness.

Yes, she's just a silly girl.

Unlike Lily, who is smart and generous and can make friends with anyone quickly.

Both Rowling and Madison frowned instinctively.

Madison, in particular, sensed a kindred spirit in Lily and immediately recognized her as a tea girl!

The poor little girl was reduced to a tool to highlight Lily's excellence.

Ignoring Lily, who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, Luo Lin said, "Your name is Maria? That's a very nice name. I'm Luo Lin, a senior in high school. You can call me Lin, or you can just call me by my name."

Rowling keenly noticed Madison's gaze, but Madison did not disrupt the atmosphere.

Perhaps it's a case of like repels like, but she disliked Lily even more.

Although Madison also had the nickname "Madison the Bitch," at least she wouldn't exploit "friends" like Lily did.

She is always very sincere to her friends and never hesitates to help them when needed.

Upon hearing this, Maria looked up at Rowling in surprise. His sincere smile touched her heart.

What a handsome boy!

Maria was momentarily at a loss, her face flushed slightly, and in her anxiety, she began to stammer incoherently.

"Ah, um, Rowling? I... I'm sorry!"

At this moment, Maria was flustered and didn't know what to say, especially when she noticed Lily's envious and jealous gaze, she felt a surge of pleasure.

He is looking at me!

In his eyes, I am better than Lily!

Maria always felt insecure around the outgoing Lily.

Because whenever someone else approaches, Lily always goes to greet them immediately, chatting and laughing with them, leaving herself alone each time.

Sometimes, when she was talking to other people, Lily would cleverly interrupt, always managing to steer the conversation away and leave Maria with nothing to say.

This gave her the illusion that Lily was better than her, and that everyone else was coming to Lily.

But now, Rolin was looking at him with intense passion.

Could it be... that he likes me?

Maria rarely dared to think so boldly, but when she saw the even more outstanding Madison, whose confident smile lingered from beginning to end, she felt ashamed of herself.

Is Rowling's companion even more outstanding than Lily?

Lily felt embarrassed. She tried to find a topic to distract Rowling, but Rowling didn't even glance at her.

This made Lily very unhappy.

I'm clearly more lively and daring than Mariana Quail, so why don't you look at me?

"By the way, Maria, didn't your mother tell you to go home early? Let's go first."

Lily forcibly pulled Maria away.

Madison chuckled, "Maria, your friend is quite interesting. He kicks you when you need help, and then doesn't care what you think and manipulates you at will."

"I suggest you stay away from this kind of 'friend'. She will never help you when you need help, and will only leave you with her as your only 'friend'."

Maria, who was initially reluctant to leave, looked up in surprise upon hearing this, and then saw a hint of panic flash across Lily's eyes.

Hey, what are you talking about?

Lily abandoned Maria, stepped forward to stand in front of Madison, and glared at him angrily:

"Let me tell you, what happens between Maria and me is none of your business, you bitch..."

Snapped! !

Chapter 4: Upgraded Cheat System, New Features!

Madison was ruthless and didn't talk much; he simply raised his hand and slapped someone.

Lily covered her face and took two steps back, looking at the nonchalant Madison, feeling a mix of grief and indignation.

Luo Lin watched with amusement, thinking, "No wonder she's called Mai Biao, her level is really high."

He did not intend to stop it.

First, Madison won't suffer a loss; after all, she is a witch, and an awakened one at that!

Secondly, he enjoys watching women fight.

Lily was furious, but she was also wary of the strong Rolin and didn't dare to step forward for a moment.

At this moment, her boyfriend, Sean, who had been watching from the sidelines, came up angrily.

"Hey, how could you lay a hand on me?"

Sean walked up to Lily and pointed at Rowling.

Rowling frowned slightly and reminded him, "I hate it when people point at me!"

Sean glared angrily at Rowling, not only not stopping but taking a step forward, "Fuck, who do you think you are?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sean felt his right arm suddenly gripped by iron clamps, followed by intense pain. His entire arm felt as if it were being squeezed by a tremendous pressure, and even the bones seemed to be cracking.

"Oh no!"

Rowling gripped Sean's arm tightly, causing Sean to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. He tried to pry it open with his other hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge Rowling an inch.

This scene left everyone else speechless.

Although Rowling looks very strong, Sean is also 1.85 meters tall, so there is no difference in height. Why is it that in front of Rowling, Sean looks like a porcelain doll, all show and no substance?

"My hand... Ah, let go! My arm is going to break!"

Sean was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. Rowling shoved him away, saying insincerely:

"I'm sorry, I'm quite strong, and I'm not easy to control when I get emotional."

"Next life...be more careful next time."

Rowling patted Sean on the shoulder, gesturing for Madison to leave.

As I passed the panicked Maria, I smiled at her and said, "Maria, if you don't mind, shall we walk together?"

Maria glanced at Lily and Sean, then at Rowling. She wanted to apologize to Lily, but seeing Rowling's sincere smile, she nodded as if possessed.

The students watching looked at Luo Lin and his two companions as if they had seen a ghost, and involuntarily parted to make way for the man and the two women.

Maria followed Rollin like a shadow, taking two steps at a time.

Feeling the attention of others, even knowing they were looking at Luo Lin, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Was Luo Lin standing up for her just now?

Maria quickly shook her head at this thought.

No, he was standing up for another woman.

She still hit her only friend and her friend's boyfriend.

Maria felt she should be angry? Even just a little?

But I couldn't help thinking: If I could become Luo Lin's girlfriend, no one would dare to bully me anymore, right?

Maria was thinking boldly when a sharp voice rang out.

Sensitive Maria raised her frightened eyes and saw three male classmates walking towards her.

Those were Mike, the school bully in her class, and his friends.

"Hey, isn't this Maria? Tsk, found a new 'friend'? And it's a yellow-skinned monkey at that..."

Mike was about to mock Maria as usual, but Rowling wouldn't tolerate it.

He kicked Mike right in the face, sending him flying three meters away, where he couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Mike's companions exchanged a glance and nodded secretly, then charged towards Rowling at the same time.

Madison had a subconscious thought.

Before she could use her powers, Rowling slapped them both to the ground as easily as swatting flies.

Then Rowling approached Mike, and under the latter's terrified gaze, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up with a gentle pull.

Mike, his face flushed, weakly slapped Rollin's thick, powerful arm.

Luo Lin said softly, "I don't know who you are, and I have no interest in knowing who you are."

"But you'd better remember this—"

"If I see or hear you do or say anything that is rude or unkind to Maria again..."

Lorin leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I promise, I'll shove your head into your asshole."

Trust me, I mean what I say!

After saying that, Rowling let go, and Mike slid to the ground like a limp noodle.

He was furious, but also terrified, and for a moment, he didn't even dare to utter a harsh word.

His two companions looked at him strangely, making Mike feel utterly humiliated.

Mike clenched his fist, took a glass bottle out of his bag, and stared intently at Rowling's back.

At that moment, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Luo Lin suddenly turned around and looked back.

bang-

Mike felt a jolt of fear as the glass bottle crashed to the ground and shattered.

His courage and boldness also shattered along with it.

"Monster...Monster!"

in the crowd,

A dark-haired girl watched Rolin's departing figure with lingering tears in her eyes.

Oh my god, that's so cool!

He must be the strongest man in the school, right?

No, I must have him!

Maria followed closely behind Rowling and Madison, and then got into the car Madison had bought.

As a relatively unknown actor, Madison had at least been wealthy once, spending tens of thousands of dollars on a car.

In the United States, you can learn to drive at 16 and start driving on the road at 17.

Madison expertly floored the gas pedal. "Maria, where do you live?"

Maria gave an address and looked enviously at Madison, who was wearing sunglasses and looked incredibly handsome.

This is how it looks in her dream.

Maria also wanted to own a car instead of squeezing onto the school bus every day, passively interacting with her classmates, and being ridiculed and isolated.

But her father didn't pay attention to her situation, even though she had mentioned that she hoped to receive a gift for her 17th birthday.

Even an ordinary car is nothing to her father—a famous plastic surgeon.

"Um... thank you."

Maria, suppressing her grievances, turned her head and thanked Rowling beside her.
