Jiang Xun pulled the five of them up.

“What are you all doing!” The principal’s angry and slightly panicked voice suddenly rang out through the hallway.

Everyone looked over in the principal’s direction and saw a young man standing next to him. His facial features were so sharp they could cut glass, and his posture was tall and straight, like a jade tree under the full moon.

The plump principal, who was 5’7, provided a rather stark contrast when standing beside the handsome man.

The principal hurriedly walked over to them, worried that this incident would ruin the school’s image in the slender man, Qin Mufeng’s eyes.

As the next head of the Qin family, not only had Qin Mufeng donated a lot of money to their school, but he had also personally come to inspect it.

The principal was flattered and wanted to leave a good impression on him. He was hoping to reassure Qin Mufeng that his donations were not in vain and that he could continue to donate to the school in the future.

Initially, everything had been going smoothly and Qin Mufeng was also very satisfied with what he’d seen, but who could’ve known that they would run into a fight just before Qin Mufeng was about to leave!

The school bully group of five had already stood up and were a little flustered and didn’t know how to explain.

Jiang Xun said confidently, “They pushed me down the stairs the other day and decided to apologize to me now.”

She then turned around and looked at the five of them, and they all quivered at the glint in her eyes. “I-It’s exactly as she said! W-we’re really sorry about what we did to Jiang Xun!”

“We’re so sorry!” The five of them apologized in unison.

[Merit points + 3]

“... is it that easy to get MP?” Jiang Xun muttered.

The system didn’t want to speak anymore, but Jiang Xun suddenly let out a low hum. “Huh? Which ones among you aren’t apologizing sincerely?”

Jiang Xun turned and looked at the five people unhappily.

The five people shrank back at her glare, though the three male bullies simply offered her a nervous smile while Teng Qianqian and Mo Xiaoyu lowered their heads, unable to look her in the eye.

Jiang Xun narrowed her eyes. So it was them.

The principal knew that these five people always caused trouble in the school and had never changed despite the reprimands they’d gotten in the past, so he did not doubt Jiang Xun’s words.

He didn’t know if he was seeing things or not, but judging from how the five bullies were now cowering before Jiang Xun, didn’t it seem like Jiang Xun was the real bully here? What was going on?

Clearing his throat, he said awkwardly to Qin Mufeng, “Mr. Qin, the students in our school are usually very harmonious and friendly.”

“It’s fine.” Qin Mufeng did not care much. “It’s good that they have realized their mistakes.”

He glanced at Jiang Xun indifferently. A pair of clear, bright eyes stared back at him, as if burning their visage into his soul.

Jiang Xun had eaten a lot during the past two days, especially meat, so her face had filled out a little and her complexion was much better than before. However, she was still not considered healthy and was still skinny and small.

She was already considered pleasing to the eye back in her old world, and the original Host looked just like her. Right now, it was just that she hadn’t gotten enough nutrition, so she looked like an inconspicuous wisp.

“Yes, of course.” The principal heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qin Mufeng wouldn’t pursue the matter. “Mr. Qin, this way please.”

The both of them then left.

Jiang Xun also left the five bullies behind and went to the cafeteria, then promptly piled up a bunch of meat on her tray to the point where it resembled a small mountain.

The system asked, “Host, can your stomach hold that much food?”

Jiang Xun replied, “Back in my world, I’ve often had to go for long periods of time without food, so I’ll eat as much as I can while there’s food available.”

“...”

“Oh right, can I start the quest now?” Jiang Xun glanced at the system and saw that she had exactly 20 Merit Points now.

“Yes, you can.”

Jiang Xun clicked on the quest.

[Do you wish to exchange 20 Merit Points for the Beginner Quest? ]

[ Yes ].

As soon as Jiang Xun selected the option, a message popped up.

[ Beginner Quest: Get Jiang Chengye to personally bring you home. Quest rewards: increase lifespan by one year, activate ability bonus panel. ]

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. “I don’t even have Jiang Chengye’s contact information right now.”

The system said, “No need to be anxious, Host. According to the original timeline, Jiang Chengye sent someone over to pick the original Host up one week before the college entrance exam, which was also her 18th birthday. When the time comes, you just needs to think of a way to get Jiang Chengye to come get you personally.”

Jiang Xun stuffed three meatballs into her mouth at once and nodded. “We’ll see then.”

There were only 18 days left until the college entrance examinations. The school had already stopped regular classes, and the classrooms were all being used for self-study, which was a voluntary affair. Students could either go home to prepare for the exams, or they could study in the classroom.

Jiang Xun had no idea about these courses, however; she just wanted to complete her task so she could add some MP to boost her Intelligence.

Therefore, she left the school and went to the Wenping Mountain not far behind the campus to train her body.

At the same time, Qin Mufeng was driving up the same mountain in a car.

The main reason he’d come here this time was to investigate the situation of the hot spring resort on the mountain, and he’d taken the opportunity to drop by Wenping High School for a casual visit.

The reason why he invested in Wenping High School to make more connections within Wenping Town, which would in turn aid the construction of the hot spring resort. Indeed, construction had gone smoothly after making all those connections.

As the car drove up the mountain road, Qin Mufeng’s assistant, Zhang Chengnan, suddenly exclaimed, “Eh? Isn’t that the girl we saw at Wenping High School in the afternoon?”

Qin Mufeng looked over and sure enough, saw Jiang Xun running along the road.

He retracted his gaze and didn’t bother with her anymore.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the person-in-charge brought the both of them to the mountainside and briefed them on how exploration of the mountain was going.

As Qin Mufeng listened, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xun’s silhouette running in the mountains out of the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows silently.

That girl could run quite well.

At 4:20 p.m. , Qin Mufeng and Zhang Chengnan got in the car, about to go back down the mountain.

When they reached the mountains, Zhang Chengnan exclaimed again, “Eh? President, it’s that little girl from before. Could she have been running all this time?”

Her physical strength was no joke! Could it be that she was a sports student? Otherwise, why would she work so hard?

Qin Mufeng turned his head and looked at Jiang Xun.?He saw her stopping at a fork in the road, then look left and right, seemingly not knowing which path to take.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Xun picked a side and jogged up it.

“That’s the path up the mountain,” Zhang Chengnan said subconsciously.

“Stop at the fork in the road,” Qin Mufeng instructed.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Xun ran back again.

It was then that Qin Mufeng lowered the car window and saw Jiang Xun looking at him with a strange expression.

After running for an entire afternoon, her face had turned red and she was panting heavily. However, she looked much healthier than she did in the afternoon. She was even a little more beautiful than before.

Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up as she recognized Qin Mufeng.

“Are you lost?” Qin Mufeng’s fingers rested on the car door’s armrest.

Jiang Xun had always been an idiot when it came to directions, even though it was the apocalypse. No one in the team had dared let her lead the way.

However, she refused to admit this. “There are too many forks in the road,” she simply said.
