On this day, Qin Jinnian enjoyed treatment he had never had before. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by people, and his classmates showed him enthusiasm and kindness that they had never shown before.

During this process, even many students from other classes came over and secretly observed Qin Jinnian with curiosity and amazement.

And when the students in his class said that they had witnessed Qin Jinnian's superpowers with their own eyes, and even showed the "shadow ruler" he made casually to others... naturally, it caused another round of noise and exclamation.

An ordinary ruler that was so fragile that it would break at the slightest bend, became indestructible in Qin Jinnian's hands...

This ability to turn decay into magic is truly amazing.

Then, some people plucked up the courage to greet Qin Jinnian, and even introduced themselves, expressing their desire to make friends with Qin Jinnian... and Qin Jinnian did not refuse, but nodded and greeted them with a smile.

This gentle style immediately earned him a lot of goodwill.

Qin Jinnian actually doesn't have any big ambitions. He just wants to live a peaceful life, go on adventures and upgrade himself when he's free... and occasionally walk around the busy pedestrian street with family and friends, and enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery in the bustling city.

After all, humans are social animals. He is also a human being, so unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to leave the city and live alone. He does not want to be an enemy of the authorities.

but.

Not wanting to be an enemy of the authorities does not mean that he is willing to accept comprehensive official supervision.

Again… that would make him feel very insecure.

So he created a 'Zhang San'.

On the one hand, it makes the officials and other people with ulterior motives wary... On the other hand, it also makes it easier for you to act.

After all, if everything was aboveboard... then he wouldn't be able to do anything freely because he might be questioned at any time... which would be very troublesome.

Qin Jinnian thought that this world had rules, because a world with rules was good for everyone. But sometimes, he didn't really want to follow these rules... so he needed to be able to break them.

Does this sound like double standards? Well, there is no denying that this is double standards.

But he is not the only one who has double standards, too many people have double standards. So he needs a way to counter it.

Therefore, it is necessary for Zhang San to exist... Zhang San is something outside the rules.

However, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Zhang San gave him the power to break the rules, but it also brought disadvantages, including being questioned by the authorities and being targeted by the evil church.

Let’s not talk about the evil church for now.

Official questioning is very important.

Because this determines whether he can continue to maintain his current lifestyle.

Doubt cannot be avoided...because Zhang San must exist.

There is only one way...

That is, to make the authorities question him... but at the same time make sure they don't dare to touch him easily.

He needs to maintain a balance.

This requires the original body to possess a "golden body" that the authorities dare not touch lightly.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Jinnian chose "Shadow Armor" as the ability to expose his true self.

As an empowerment superpower, he does not need to frequently go in and out of the front-line battlefield, but his status will be very high.

And the higher the grade, the higher the status.

Why did he use the Shadow Armor in front of everyone today? Was it just to show off? No.

He is telling others what he can do. Through this yardstick, he lets others see his potential.

Ordinary rulers are like this, and he is only at the second level at present... Then those already powerful weapons, after his grade is upgraded a few levels and empowered... How strong can they be? What else can they do? He needs others to think about this problem.

Only in this way, when he reaches a certain level, will strong men come to ask for empowering equipment...

Is it so easy to empower equipment? Do I need to pay a price to obtain it? Let's not talk about money... do I need to count favors? When he gives away more and more empowered equipment, it means that more and more people will owe him favors... By then, this deity himself will become a "force".

By then, the alternation of the 'bright force' of the deity plus the 'dark force' of Zhang San would be enough to construct a golden body that even the officials would not dare to underestimate.

So, let me briefly summarize what I need to do...

That is...

Make friends.

The more friends he has, the stronger his "Ming Shi" will be in the future.

Therefore, he never refused any requests for friendship from these students.

Don’t think that these are just high school students and seem to be useless...

But they have to graduate, and some of them with excellent grades will even go to college... Who knows where these people will go in the future? No matter how bad the No. 5 High School is, it is still one of the top five high schools in Canglan City, with nearly one-fifth of the students of school age studying here... No one can predict what kind of talents will emerge.

Taking a step back...

It's not difficult to nod and smile. It's not like we've established a deep friendship, but who knows what fruits this nodding acquaintance will bear in the future? After all...

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing.

Therefore, the character he created for himself is gentle, sunny and sociable.

Or maybe it can’t be considered as crafting, anyway he himself quite enjoys this feeling.

Anyway, as a superpower, he is in an absolutely dominant position in social situations. If he really encounters some useless and crappy social situations, he will refuse them without any psychological burden. For example, in the first few days, the class group tagged him thousands of times, but he never responded once.

But does this affect these people's enthusiasm for him? ...

A day passed in such hustle and bustle. After school, Qin Jinnian contacted Qin Xiaomian and waited for her at the entrance of the junior high school to go home together.

Unexpectedly, on just the first day, Qin Xiaomian seemed to have made friends. She chatted and laughed with two or three girls along the way.

Hearing Qin Jinnian's greeting, Qin Xiaomian's eyes lit up. After calling him "brother", he said goodbye to the girls around him and then trotted over.

"It seems like you've integrated well into the environment? Have you made any friends?"

Qin Jinnian looked at Qin Xiaomian with a smile.

"That's right, your sister is loved by everyone." Qin Xiaomian was a little proud.

On second thought, it's normal. This girl has a very wild temperament and doesn't care about anything when she's angry, but she's usually generous and magnanimous, and she's pretty... With this kind of personality, it's actually very easy for her to make friends.

"That's good."

Qin Jinnian smiled and nodded, then went home with Qin Xiaomian.

On the way through the high school, I met a lot of people. Many of them lit up their eyes when they saw Qin Jinnian and greeted him.

Qin Jinnian also smiled and nodded. Occasionally, he would respond to others with a sentence or two... These were all people who "made friends" with him today.

Although most of them... he couldn't actually remember their names.

But this scene made Qin Xiaomian's eyes light up, and she said with envy and admiration: "Brother, you have so many friends..."

Qin Jinnian smiled and said, "When you are strong, you will find that everyone around you is a good friend."

"Huh?" Qin Xiaomian looked at Qin Jinnian in confusion, not quite understanding.

Qin Jinnian did not explain, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mom and Dad should have finished get off work... Let's go, I'll take you to dinner today."

"You little greedy cat."

"whee……"

The brother and sister chatted and laughed and left the school.

When I got home, my parents were there as expected, with happy smiles on their faces.

One look at this situation tells me that there should be no problem at work today.

When asked, Qin's mother smiled first and said that the office environment was very good. It was her first time working in an office and she was a little nervous at first, but she gradually found that the people there were easy to talk to and the work was very simple... just making a list and collecting some data...

In fact, these lists have already been made by the people below, and she just needs to "check" them and send them to an email. It is extremely easy.

In the afternoon, they were so bored that they even gathered together to play mahjong... They didn't play much, just five or ten yuan, to kill time. No one cared about them.

Qin's father is in a similar situation. He has less work and more money. He met a few friends today and spent most of the day chatting. They even agreed to go fishing in Qinghe Lake in a few days...

The words "fishing in Qinghe Lake" made Qin Jinnian look strange... He didn't expect that his father was also a hidden fisherman? "Dad, didn't you say in the morning that even though the work was simple, I had to be worthy of the salary? It's only been a day, and you don't care anymore?"

Qin Jinnian said with a sly smile.

Qin Taiping glared, then laughed and sighed, "How can I say I have figured it out? In fact, I know nothing. When people from other departments talk about work, I am completely in the dark... I don't know anything. If I really want to get involved, I will probably just cause trouble for others... Forget it, let's leave professional matters to professionals. I have worked hard for most of my life, and now my son has made a difference, and I am not allowed to take advantage of him? So... Forget it, this is good enough. I can chat and go fishing when I have nothing to do. I have to enjoy myself too."

One lying flat.

Qin's mother also smiled and nodded, indicating that her thoughts were similar to Qin Taiping's.

She didn't know anything about work, and she wanted to be busy during the day, but she soon gave up and simply handed over the remaining work to professionals. She just met a few sisters at work, and they were all nice people... From now on, they will chat and play cards every day. Isn't this a life like a god? Obviously, she also lay down.

In fact, Qin Jinnian doesn’t care at all about what choice his parents make, as long as they are happy.

Now it seems that they also have no ambition.

Qin Jinnian immediately suggested that they continue to have a big meal to celebrate Xiaomian’s new school and her parents’ new jobs.

No one objected... Mom bought the vegetables, but hasn't cooked them yet.

So Qin Jinnian called the restaurant to make a reservation, and the family went out...

…

Time passed quietly in this ordinary and warm environment, and in the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.

The members of the Vacuum Church who were killed by Qin Jinnian were found the next day, and the police were called. The police quickly transferred the case to the night watchman, who accepted the case and transported the bodies away, but there was no follow-up.

During this period, the number of people around Qin Jinnian gradually decreased... It's not that the number decreased, but as he expected, when the mystery and novelty passed, the popularity would eventually decline and no longer attract as much attention as at the beginning.

But he also had more "friends". He was gentle and humorous. Gradually, after class, many friends were willing to gather around him to chat about school gossip and various interesting stories. He steadily became the "social butterfly" in the class.

When he walked outside, a large number of classmates greeted him enthusiastically, and he responded with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that every time he went to school these days, he would find some love letters in his desk...

This is unprecedented.

He didn't have this treatment in his previous life.

These love letters are colorful and fragrant, with a unique scent of a girl, and the beautiful small handwriting tells the girl's thoughts.

Qin Jinnian kept all these love letters, but never responded...

This dimmed the bright eyes that were secretly watching him.

With the help of Qin Jinnian, because she often went to and from school with Qin Xiaomian, everyone in the school became familiar with Qin Jinnian. As his sister, Qin Xiaomian also immediately attracted the attention of a large number of students.

The news even spread to the junior high school... and then, Qin Xiaomian's popularity exploded.

Her identity as a transfer student no longer prevents others from interacting with her, and people greet her wherever she goes.

She knew that all this was caused by her brother.

I don’t know what to feel in my heart.

After all... she had been in the same school with her brother before, but when others knew that she was Qin Jinnian's sister, they did not greet her with kindness, but with ridicule and mockery...

Comparing the two, she was even more amazed.

She slowly understood what her brother said to her that day...

When you are strong, you will find that the saying that everyone around you is a good friend has a little meaning...

…

On the way home from school that day, Qin Xiaomian suddenly said to Qin Jinnian, "Brother, I miss Xiaohua a little. It's been a week... Can we go see her?"

This made Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a call."

That’s right, Lan Rouhua has been in the Night Watch for a week. No matter what the situation is, she should have discovered something, right?

He immediately took out his cell phone and called Jiang Yetong.

"Qin Jinnian?"

Jiang Yetong's voice came from the other end of the phone, as cold as ever.

"Hello, Director Jiang. It's like this. My sister misses Lan Rouhua a little bit. Can we go to the Night Watch to see her?"

Qin Jinnian asked politely.

Jiang Yetong was silent for a while, then he said calmly: "I'm afraid you can't see her. She is no longer in Canglan City."

"Not in Canglan City?" Qin Jinnian was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Her situation is very complicated. Anyway, she has been sent to the Night Watch headquarters in the capital."

Capital headquarters?

Qin Jinnian was shocked.

That was undoubtedly the true headquarters of the Night's Watch.

Why was Lan Rouhua sent there? What secrets did she have? Qin Jinnian frowned.

Just as I was thinking about it, Jiang Yetong's voice rang out: "That's great, can you help me contact Zhang San and ask him to call me back."

Qin Jinnian's mind moved, and he subconsciously asked in confusion: "Brother Zhang? Can I ask Director Jiang if…"

"It has nothing to do with you, just inform him."

After saying this, Jiang Yetong hung up the phone.

Qin Jinnian fell into deep thought.

Qin Xiaomian next to her was stunned.

"Xiaohua...went to the capital?"
