"Hey kid, did you see a head fly by over there just now?"
The tall, thin boy stepped forward with a smile and asked.
He originally wanted He Xie to join the team.
But then I thought about it again. He Xie was a student at Shanhai Middle School, a second-rate high school, and he was in the tenth class of the regular classes. Plus, his personality seemed a bit eccentric, so I decided to let it go.
Most importantly, He Xie turned around and left without saying a word when they first met.
This clearly shows a lack of interest in forming a team.
If you force your way in, you'll likely end up being met with indifference and making a fool of yourself.
"Heads?"
He Xie raised an eyebrow. Wasn't that his own head? What did this guy want by asking?
Seeing that He Xie seemed a little confused, the tall, thin boy explained, "It might not be a human head. It could also be a prehistoric alien race that looks like a human head. It just flew from this side toward the side you came out from."
Hearing this, He Xie understood.
So these people mistook me, who just had a head, for some ancient alien race?
And now, he wants to try hunting?
Wow, that's amazing!
After thinking it through, He Xie replied:
"If you're talking about human heads, then I didn't see any. But if you're talking about ancient alien races, then I did see a bird that looked like a ball just now."
Hearing He Xie say that, the tall, thin boy felt a surge of excitement.
Wow, they really are a prehistoric alien race!
He quickly followed up, asking, "Good brother, did you see where that bird flew off to?"
"That bird didn't fly far; instead, it crashed into a tree with a bang and died. I managed to pick it up and put it in my dimensional bag."
After saying that, He Xie turned and left.
Upon hearing this, the people behind him were immediately filled with envy.
Holy crap, I actually snagged a bargain?!
What kind of person is this, with great fortune?
Envy, jealousy, and hatred!
With the ancient alien race gone, the group had no choice but to leave the dense forest as originally planned.
It just so happened that He Xie was going the same way as them.
So as they walked, the group came together.
During this time, the two girls in the group saw that He Xie was handsome and often went over to talk to him.
Seeing that the two girls were quite good-looking and had good figures, He Xie reluctantly started chatting with them, one sentence at a time.
Short-haired girl: "Excuse me, is your name really He Xie (River Crab)?"
He Xie: "Really, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
Short-haired girl: ???
[The contrast value from Xia Xueping is +8164.]
Long-haired girl: "River Crab? What a nice name! It sounds really cool."
He Xie: "......"
The long-haired girl's answer left Xie Ge speechless.
The word "river crab" sounds cool, doesn't it?
Good grief, so you're just lying through your teeth, just licking my boots?
Indeed, the essence of humanity is being attracted to appearances.
If you're good-looking enough, even your flaws can be praised as strengths.
To give an extreme example, if you're good-looking enough, even picking your toes can seem charming.
But if someone is ugly, that's a completely different story.
Long-haired girl: "He, what level of biological evolution have you reached?"
He Xie: "Not high, only one level of mutation."
Long-haired girl: ???
Short-haired girl: ???
The group of boys: "???"
[The contrast value from everyone is +8356 +3925 +3936 +2438 +3936......]
After a moment of calm, the boys in the group started complaining.
Damn it!
Enough with the pretentious act!
It's also a first-order mutation?
Why don't you call it a mythical first-order tier?
Doesn't that sound even cooler?
In contrast to the boys, the two girls were now praising them with sweet smiles.
He Xie is so humorous; he really knows how to make people happy.
It's said that he must have many girls who like him, and he can change girlfriends every day.
He Xie smiled.
He knew the two girls were testing whether he had a girlfriend, so he just smiled and remained silent, letting them rack their brains to guess.
Long-haired girl: "By the way, He, what are your hobbies?"
He Xie: "I really like small animals."
Long-haired girl: "What a coincidence! I also love small animals!"
Short-haired girl: "Me too! Me too!"
Seeing how excited the two girls were, He Xie couldn't help but smile to himself.
He did it on purpose.
He knew that most girls liked small animals, so he also labeled himself as someone who liked small animals, hoping to create a sense of connection with the two girls next to him.
I have to say, Brother Xie is really good at this.
While He Xie was chatting with the two girls, the boys walking ahead were filled with envy and jealousy, thinking how great it was to be handsome.
At the same time, he was internally grumbling, "What's the use of being handsome? It only fools some young girls. When everyone matures, looks are nothing compared to ability."
It's fortunate that Brother Xie didn't know they were secretly thinking such things.
Otherwise, I'd have to go up there and show them what it means to be both handsome and a skilled fighter.
At that moment, a light appeared.
After walking for almost an hour, the group finally made it out of the dense forest.
The group quickened their pace and soon came into view a bright and sunny grassland.
The air is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, brimming with vibrant life.
Everyone was delighted to see this.
However, He Xie did not share in the joy. Instead, he frowned slightly and looked at the patch of grass in front of him.
There, he sensed many clusters of energy moving.
It is the energy of living organisms.
But the feeling was very strong, several times stronger than any creature he had ever seen in his previous life.
Ancient alien races?
He Xie became extremely alert and silently drew the Soul-Slaying Blade from his system inventory.
The handle is black, while the blade is red and blue.
The blade is red and the body is blue, both emitting a shimmering light that is quite eye-catching.
"Holy crap, that's so cool!"
"What kind of knife is this? I didn't see it when I went into the armory."
"Isn't Shanhai Middle School supposed to be near the bottom of the rankings before getting into the armory? How come you managed to pick such a cool weapon?"
The moment the Soul-Slaying Blade appeared, the surrounding boys' eyes were immediately drawn to it.
They all crowded around, asking to touch the Soul-Slaying Blade, and some of the more shameless ones even wanted to borrow it.
He Xie found it annoying enough, so he made up some excuses.
The reason this knife glows is because it contains many light-emitting electronic components.
However, this comes at the cost of sacrificing the overall quality of the knife.
Just like a vase, it looks nice but is useless, and it could break at any moment.
Only someone as awesome as him would disregard quality and choose this knife.
It's not that others were blind and didn't see it, and then he got lucky and stumbled upon it.
After hearing He Xie's explanation, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.
What do you mean by saying only someone as awesome as you can be?
Why does it have to be so high-profile?
Doesn't your love for showing off affect your reputation?
He Xie ignored the strange expressions on the faces of these people and kept his eyes fixed on the patch of grass in front of him.
Ten meters!
Five meters!
One meter!
It's here!
A high-energy mass was rapidly emerging from the bushes and hurtling towards the group.
He Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, and a large amount of spiritual power instantly surged into the Soul-Slaying Blade.
"Bankai, activate!"
The next moment, the Soul-Slaying Blade in his hand shone with dazzling light, blinding everyone present.
Holy crap, that's so damn cool!
