Chapter 81 – Tragic creepy man

On the other side, after the two had walked away.

Lin Jichen had already freed himself from Ren Lan's grip and gave her a thumbs-up in praise.

"Impressive, impressive. Your sharp tongue is really something. Your skill at cursing people is top-notch. I’m in awe."

In fact, he had picked up his occasional sharp tongue from Ren Lan. Although this girl wasn’t great at gaming, her ability to taunt was truly unmatched.

Ren Lan raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Of course, back in the day, I wasn’t called the Princess of Insults for nothing."

Suddenly, Ren Lan changed her tone and grabbed Lin Jichen by the ear.

"Who told you to say you were my darling and fiancé just now? Ugh! Disgusting, isn’t it?"

Lin Jichen winced in pain, sucking in a breath as he explained, "I was just playing along with you, acting, you know. You said I was your boyfriend, wasn’t that acting too?"

"But you can’t just change my script like that. Saying we’d get married right after graduation? Dream on. Who’d want to marry a big idiot like you? You’re so smitten with Guo Jie that even if you threw yourself at me, I wouldn’t want you."

As Ren Lan spoke, she let go of his ear.

Lin Jichen rubbed his ear, thinking how difficult it was to deal with petty people and women. Forget it, not worth arguing.

"By the way, I’ve sorted out your class issues with the academic office. Got you a leave of absence certificate. If you don’t make it as a professional player, you can still come back to school and find another path."

After saying that, Ren Lan hummed a little tune and carried her heavy suitcase out of the school gate.

Lin Jichen chuckled awkwardly. So it was Ren Lan who had arranged his leave of absence. No wonder he hadn’t gotten into any trouble for skipping classes for so many days.

They carried the suitcase back home and then went to a nearby mall to buy some necessities for her.

"By the way, can you help me set up a fitness plan? I want to start working out too."

Lin Jichen asked Ren Lan for help.

He really needed to get in shape. Just dragging the luggage home had left his arms sore.

He had to work out, or else if Ren Lan wanted to bully him in the future, he wouldn’t even have the strength to resist.

Wait... why did that thought sound so weird?

"Oh, look who decided to come out from the black hole—it's the sun! What else is weirder than that? Lin the Fat Nerd wants to work out? I’ve tried to persuade you so many times before and you never listened. Why so sensible now?" Ren Lan teased.

"Just tell me if you’ll help or not." Lin Jichen played it cool, maintaining his pride.

"I can help you set up a fitness plan, but what’s the point if you don’t follow it? It’d be a waste of my effort." Ren Lan mocked.

"Don’t worry, I promise to follow it, unless there’s a task in the game that I can’t leave. Otherwise, I’ll definitely stick to the plan." Lin Jichen assured.

Terrified, they all pulled back their legs, staring in shock.

Ren Lan glanced at them and coldly said, "Elevator’s under maintenance. Can you take the stairs?"

The customers nodded like pecking chickens.

Then they watched as Ren Lan tied up her hair, muttering to herself.

"Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, who knows how many girls you’ll harass in the future."

"Little Lin, you wait outside. You’re in the way here."

Lin Jichen complied immediately, running out of the elevator.

He didn’t want to stay inside. If he got hurt by mistake, it would be a big loss.

As soon as Lin Jichen left, Ren Lan flashed a wicked smile and pressed all the buttons for every floor.

"Hope you can hold on until the elevator reaches the first floor."

Ren Lan smiled kindly at the now completely terrified sleazy man.

The man, ignoring his intense pain, looked at her with utter fear, begging for mercy, almost kneeling and calling her granny.

However, Ren Lan remained unmoved.

Lin Jichen and the other customers could only watch as the elevator doors closed again. Through the gap, they could see the man’s eyes filled with despair.

As soon as the doors closed, the screams began.

Lin Jichen patted his chest, feeling a bit sorry for the guy.

Of all people to mess with, he chose a female devil. It's like lighting a cigarette at a gas station—just seeking for death..

It’s said that when the elevator reached the first floor, the man crawled out.

When the police arrived, he wept with relief, feeling so safe.

Not only did he turn himself in, but he also begged the police to take him away quickly.

That guy probably developed a lifelong fear of women.

By the time Lin Jichen and Ren Lan returned to their rented place, it was almost dark.

Lin Jichen hurriedly cooked two bowls of noodles for a quick meal, then rushed to take a shower, preparing to log into the game.

He needed to check the game quickly. Hopefully, the price of his Corpse Poison Potions hadn’t dropped.

Before logging out, the price of the potions wasn’t as high as it used to be. It seemed people didn’t think it was worth that much.
