Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Afterward, Yang Sheng also thoughtfully sent over a video recording of the game.

Watching the class president being utterly defenseless and brutally dominated in the game, Yu Wen felt as if she could feel the class president's pain.

Memories flooded her heart, and Yu Wen thought about how her love with the class president would be delayed yet again. Her heart ached unbearably, and she wept at her desk:

"Since then, the class president's gaming account has never logged on again."

Lu Qiqi was astonished, "Yang Sheng made the class president rage quit the game?"

...

Unlike Yu Wen's sadness, in the living room, Chen Siyu was laughing so hard she couldn't stop herself, "Hahaha!"

As an older sister, Chen Siqing had her own dignity; she covered her mouth, equally joyful from her laughter.

After laughing for a while, Chen Siqing glanced at the time and saw it was already 9:30. She opened Thunderbolt Fighter and logged into the game, cheerfully starting her play.

After finishing with her own account, she messaged Jiang Ning on WeChat: "I'm logging onto your account now."

Jiang Ning replied, "What are you playing?"

Chen Siqing, remembering the description from chatting with the game group's guys, blurted out: "Playing with planes."

Jiang Ning: "..."

"Ah, wrong, wrong, Thunderbolt Fighter!" Chen Siqing hurried to correct herself, unaware that this was a slip-up.

"Go ahead, log in." Jiang Ning said. The two sisters were quite polite, always asking for his permission before logging into his QQ account to prevent booting him out.

Chen Siqing happily logged in to Jiang Ning's QQ account, and just as she was about to finish a round, she beckoned:

"Siyu, it's your turn today, grab me an ice pop."

Chen Siyu eagerly complied.

Chen Siqing had just finished a round when a QQ message popped up. After logging into someone else's QQ, she never looked at their messages out of respect for their privacy.

If it were her own QQ messages being read by someone else, Chen Siqing would also be unhappy.

But the message that popped up was too explosive!

The beginning actually read, "Darling, your little sister is so lonely and really wants someone to keep her company..."

This was serious!

When Siyu came back, Chen Siqing exited the game and placed her phone on the coffee table to discuss it with her sister.

Chen Siyu was shocked; someone was actually trying to seduce Jiang Ning!

After inquiring about the bank statement that day, Chen Siyu realized that they had misunderstood Jiang Ning, who was in fact a very respectable young man!

The boys they usually met always liked to stare at themselves and their sister, their gazes drifting to other parts of their bodies.

But Jiang Ning was different; his gaze was always exceptionally decent.

When talking to the two of them, he always looked into their eyes.

"Jiang Ning is such a good guy; we absolutely can't let him be tainted. Sister, it's our turn to act!" Chen Siyu declared righteously, ready to sacrifice for others.

They had to protect Jiang Ning!

Even if they were stained themselves, they were determined to keep Jiang Ning pure!

Buoyed by her sister's encouragement, Chen Siqing made up her mind, clicked into the chat window, and muttered to herself, "Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

So the complete message was displayed before the twins.

"Darling, your little sister is so lonely and really wants someone to keep her company. Will big brother come out for y, huh? Your sister is in Hu City, a freshman dance student."

Under the twins' indignant gaze, the sexy female avatar sent another message: "Charge 3, Ye 7, highly cooperative, [lips] super great. To avoid wasting time, big brother can send an 8.8 red packet to watch your little sister's video, huh."

Chen Siyu was furious, exclaiming, "That's so shameless!"

Chen Siqing wondered, "What should we do, delete her?"

Chen Siyu grabbed the phone, muttering, "I have to see what you're up to!"

She replied with a message: "Can you spray [water], huh?"

The sexy female avatar immediately responded: "[shy] Mhm, I can, big brother."

Chen Siyu quickly typed out a message, "That's great, I can breathe fire. I'll call the other five brothers, and let's go save grandpa!"

The sexy female boss was furious, "Motherfucker, you believe I can call a hundred brothers to chop your stupid ass to death?"

...

August 20th.

Lin City.

Guo Kunnan stood atop a hill, gazing at the distant green mountains where several obviously wealthy youths, dressed in professional gear, were paragliding on the gentle slopes.

They ran swiftly and then soared into the sky with their paragliders, completing the process smoothly and delightfully, looking effortlessly chic.

Guo Kunnan watched for a while before heaving a sigh, "I just heard someone nearby say that the training fee for the paragliding, along with the cost of the equipment itself, starts at thirty thousand yuan!"

Dan Kaiquan said indifferently, "So what if it's thirty thousand, what's that to us?"

Guo Kunnan did some mental math and said, "We've been leveling up characters for almost a month, and after deducting food expenses, we've earned a total of just over four thousand yuan. Compared with them, it's not even close to enough for one play."

"I really envy them, learning paragliding at such a young age."

It didn't seem like a big deal before, but now, having seen it firsthand, Guo Kunnan felt a pang in his heart. Those people and a country kid like him, they simply weren't from the same world.

After hearing this, Dan Kaiquan chimed in, "What's there to envy about learning paragliding? I can also dig peanuts, break corn, and drive a tractor. Can they do that?"

Dan Kaiquan just seemed immune to the disparity.

He knew from studying hard and running that efforts would be rewarded.

One day, he was determined to stand shoulder to shoulder with those people on the hillside and eventually surpass them!

Seeing his good friend so spirited, Guo Kunnan couldn't help but feel a touch of 'I'm not as good as him.'

Guo Kunnan thought for a moment and suddenly mentioned, "I remember Bai Yuxia once said she was planning to learn paragliding."

Dan Kaiquan paused and thought of Bai Yuxia's family background, of her father's BMW, and for some reason, he suddenly felt inferior.

He also sighed.

Now, here the two brothers were, sitting on the mountain, sighing at the sunset.

...

Yu Zhou Second Middle School, Qingbei Class.

A debate was unfolding. Mu Ying stated her view, "It's not that I don't eat meat. What I advocate for is making the animals' death a bit easier before we eat them."

Facing the attractive Mu Ying, a top student in Qingbei Class, Tao Zhi adjusted his glasses and with somewhat of a villainous air, countered:

"The current methods in slaughterhouses are relaxed enough. How much more ease do you want? In the end, they are just food for humans. When dealing with food, you still want to show mercy?"

Seated at the same table, Xue Chuchu kept her head down, immersing herself in her books. She never got involved in debates among classmates, preferring to focus solely on her studies.

The discussion between Mu Ying and Tao Zhi caught the attention of many classmates, and many boys took this opportunity to stealthily glance over at Xue Chuchu, Mu Ying's deskmate.

Xue Chuchu was extremely good-looking; in Second Middle School, nobody could compare with her for decades before and likely for decades after.

But she was so inconspicuous, never vying for attention or competing, yet her brilliance could not be matched by anyone.

Jin Yuanhang also looked toward Tao Zhi's side. He was considered a dominant figure in the Qingbei Class.

With handsome features, a tall stature, and good grades, Jin Yuanhang had always considered himself the natural protagonist of his life, until... he met two people.

One was Jiang Ning, who was as good-looking and as academically successful as him and also incredibly skilled at claw machine games. That was the first time Jin Yuanhang felt threatened by a rival.

As for the second, it was Dong Qingfeng. After that evening meal at the small temple fair where Dong Qingfeng warmed the hearts of all the girls present, Jin Yuanhang learned quite a bit.

At that moment, under Tao Zhi's sharp criticism, Mu Ying seemed so frail and vulnerable, pierced by a thousand wounds.

Jin Yuanhang stepped forward to cheer for the girl, joining the debate, "I agree with Mu Ying's point. The way people treat certain animals for consumption is far too cruel. For example, monkey brains, it's too remote for us. Let me give a closer example."

"Do you know what crabs go through before they die?"

Jin Yuanhang had a talent for speeches. He captivated the audience, describing vividly and emotionally, "They are starved for days, then bound tightly, scrubbed mercilessly with a brush until they are covered in wounds, doused with liquor, sprinkled with salt, and then placed in a steamer to be slowly cooked with cold water! All until the aroma wafts out. What a tragic way to die!"

Xue Chuchu, quietly reading a book, listened to all this and quietly swallowed.
