The weather was sunny without a single cloud in sight.
#Convenience Store#
A girl wearing her high school uniform lugged a pastel yellow school bag, her frame thin and feeble.
She sat in front of the window sill, nibbling on a straw as she stared at the swarm of passersby walking to and fro.
Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and limpid, her small face delicate and tender, with a remnant of baby fat still on her cheeks. She looked extremely focused.
Because she nibbled on a straw, her words were slightly unintelligible.
"Little Flower, why was I sent to a world like this?"
The moment she spoke her last word.
A voice sounded in Su Yan's ear,
"Host, relax. Once we find the High God Fragments that you lost, you'll be able to return."
That voice was exceedingly soft and light, and only she could hear it.
"Mm." The girl responded in a lukewarm manner.
Little Flower was her system, there to aid her in familiarizing herself with the different worlds she visited, and in recovering the High God Fragments.
She bit on the straw and after a short while,
In a soft voice,
"What do I have to do now?"
"According to the information that you've already obtained about the original host, you should be heading to the Imperial High School to attend class right now."
Su Yan nodded her head cooperatively.
"Okay," she replied in the same compliant manner.
She obediently picked up her bag and the white peaked cap next to her before walking out of the convenience store.
It was already 8:45, she needed to reach the school compound before 9.
If she took the usual route to school at this time, she would most certainly arrive late.
Acting on Little Flower System's advice, Su Yan decided to take a shortcut.
It would be faster this way.
Her walking pace couldn't be considered fast.
Every few steps, she would fish out a piece of strawberry milk taffy and place it in her mouth, carefully chewing it.
After walking on for around ten minutes.
Her footsteps came to a halt.
Little Flower System asked in a puzzled voice
"Host, what's the matter?"
Su Yan's complexion was slightly pale.
A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead and the corners of her lips were white.
A weak and frail appearance.
Her voice was soft and faint,
"Little Flower, why does my body feel so weak?"
Little Flower System hesitated for a moment before replying,
"Host, your physical strength is currently at 3."
Su Yan blinked without saying a word.
Physical strength of 3? What kind of concept was that?
A normal person's physical strength was around 20 points.
Her physical strength was 7 times lower than that of an average person's.
Right now, she was very weak.
As she blinked, a flurry of emotions flashed through her mind, but she didn't have time to dwell on it.
A 'bang' suddenly sounded right beside her.
A heavy object crashed into the wall forcefully.
Even Su Yan, who was standing ten meters away, could feel the wall that she was leaning on quake.
Following which,
A pitiful voice was heard, though the owner of the voice seemed to be trying to put on a brave front.
"Jiang Ran! Let me tell you, unless I die, I will never let you go!"
The moment these words were spoken, that person was hauled up by a strong and slender arm until that person wasn't able to speak a single word. Instead, he could only whimper.
Then, the owner of the hand spoke. His voice was languid, yet, it contained an inexplicable evil aura.
"If I were you, I would try and figure out how to avoid being as pitiful as a dog first."
In the end, the person who had been screeching away was still terrified. He had been putting on a tough front to redeem the last of his pride.
His cheeks trembled, and it was clear that he was trying to evade.
As rays of sunlight sprinkled down, she could only conclude that that person was tall and that he was wearing the Imperial High school uniform.
Because her face was directly exposed to the sunlight, it was so blinding that she didn't have a clear view of his face.
Behind the boy that was called Jiang Ran, a few other boys walked forward, each wearing the same Imperial High uniform.
"Brother Jiang, if you keep stepping on him, someone might just lose his life."
"Let it be, this lad has already been taught a lesson."
Two other people advised him jokingly while giving him a tug.
