Chapter 24 - League of Poor Students (1) (2/2)

Huala huala—

The door was locked from the outside and couldn’t be opened from the inside.

Ming Shu looked at the window beside the door. The window of the old teaching building was not high, but it was barred with steel. Unless she could change into a smaller being, she couldn’t go out through the window.

Ming Shu looked at the wall on the other side whose window wasn’t barred. But the classroom was on the third floor; she would be seriously injured if she jumped down.

I’m doomed to die here!

“Harmony, haven’t you said there’s a store? Are there any tools for me to use?” Ming Shu leaned against the desk, asking without energy.

[Sorry, your Hatred Points are not enough to open the store. No tool can be provided for you.]

“… How many Hatred Points do I need to open the store?” Is there such a condition? Why don’t I know? Ming Shu was confused.

[One billion.]

“…” You are such a liar , Ming Shu cried her in mind.

I may have been cheated, what to do?

Before, you said there were tools in the store for me to use. But now I’m told I need one billion Hatred Points to open the store. I only have three thousand Hatred Points now, when will I open that store? By the time I get one billion Hatred Points, things may have been solved already.

Which fool invented this damn system?

I’ll complain.

[Guest, if you want to complain, please write down the complaint. It can’t be less than ten thousand words. I’ll hand it in for you.]

“…” What the fuck kind of system—

Ten thousand words, why don’t you go die?

Do you know how much one word of mine is worth?

It’s priceless!

Priceless, do you know!

I don’t want your tool!

Rolling up her sleeves, Ming Shu walked to the window and was ready to climb down. Ming Shu had learned Kung Fu well, so even though the Host was extremely weak, climbing down… might not be a big problem for her.

Even if she died here, she at most experienced one less world.

Besides, the people who might die were not Ming Shu, so she was fearless.

Ming Shu found a gutter outside the window. She pulled out the window, the cold, rainy wind blowing into her immediately and drenching her; her thin clothes became wet at once.

Wiping her face, Ming Shu stood on the windowsill, then gripped the gutter carefully. It was raining now, so the gutter was smooth. Besides that, thunder boomed from above from time to time. Ming Shu’s heart beat so fast it almost burst from her chest.

Ming Shu reached the ground in the end with great effort. She covered her chest, calming down her hammering heart.

Intermittently illuminated by the lightning, Ming Shu’s face was both bright and dim, making her look like a smiling ghost.

I didn’t die.

…

Exposed to the rain, Ming Shu walked out along the road of the old teaching building. Ming Shu’s sight was hampered by the rain that grew heavier and heavier, and she couldn’t see clearly in front of her.

She was so hungry that she staggered.

Bang!

A boy darted from the side suddenly and collided with Ming Shu.

Ming Shu fell toward the ground and the boy seemed to want to catch her. However, he couldn’t steady himself and fell toward Ming Shu because of the smooth road, which was covered in moss as people seldom came here.

Ming Shu’s pupils widened slightly in astonishment. She quickly caught the tree beside she and successfully avoided falling down.

Unfortunately, the boy fell to the ground and moaned painfully.

Leaning against the tree, Ming Shu gasped, her heart that had only just calmed down now pounding again.

Oh my god!

You want to frighten me to death in order to inherit my snacks?
