Across from the orphanage is a barbershop with a flamboyant, "punk" style.
This barbershop is newly opened.
The boss is a young man.
His hair was multicolored and styled into a hedgehog shape with hair wax.
It looks very vintage.
It represents the lost youth of those born in the 1990s.
He Xie really liked this kind of old-fashioned barbershop, so he immediately carried Li Muke inside and looked around the shop.
It was deserted; there wasn't a single customer.
Upon seeing the customers enter, the shop owner immediately greeted them warmly, saying, "Welcome! Are you here for a haircut?"
He Xie was speechless after hearing this. "I didn't come to the barbershop to get a haircut. What am I here for?"
Are you trying to cause trouble?
On the other side, Li Muke nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm here to get a haircut."
"Little girl, do you need a haircut?"
Yes.
Li Muke spoke in a soft, cute voice, and then sat down on the chair on her own, looking very well-behaved.
Seeing this, the shop owner praised her, saying, "Little girl, you're such a good girl. Unlike other children, you don't cry as soon as you get a haircut and have to be held down by an adult to finish."
Hehehe.
Li Muke felt quite embarrassed by the compliment and could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile.
He Xie asked the shop owner, "Boss, how much does it cost to get a haircut here?"
"A simple cut is 50, a wash, cut and blow-dry is 100, and a haircut is 200."
"So expensive?"
"The craftsmanship is superb, it's worth the price."
"Okay then, give my sister a wash, cut and blow-dry, and a 200 yuan hairstyle."
He Xie is a rich man now, it's time for him to spend money like water and enjoy himself.
Otherwise, all that money would have been earned for nothing.
The boss was overjoyed when he heard this.
This is a big order!
He immediately asked He Xie, "Handsome, do you have any requirements for your sister's hairstyle?"
He Xie thought for a moment and said, "Let's go for a cute look, the kind that will turn heads."
"No problem, leave it to me!"
The boss patted his chest forcefully and assured him.
He then retrieved the hairdressing tools and prepared to give Li Muke, who was sitting in the chair, a haircut.
Just as he was about to cut with the scissors, He Xie suddenly changed his mind and said:
"Never mind, after thinking about it carefully, I'll just get a haircut and not do a wash, cut, blow-dry, or styling. I'm sorry, boss."
"It's alright, it's alright."
The boss forced a smile, but inwardly felt very sorry.
The 300 yuan I was about to receive has vanished.
It became only fifty yuan.
The difference is too great.
Just as he was thinking this, He Xie suddenly spoke again:
"I thought about it again and decided to get a 300 yuan package including a wash, cut, blow-dry, and hair styling."
"Alright!"
The boss responded with a beaming smile; the ups and downs of life were just too exciting.
However, he was too happy too soon.
Just as they were about to start cutting, He Xie suddenly said yet again, "Forget it, let's just cut it as is. I'm a little short on cash lately, let's save some money."
boss:"???"
The barber shop owner was completely exasperated. "Do you want a single haircut or a package? Can't you just decide? Stop bouncing around like that and being annoying! Aren't you being a jerk?!"
[The contrast value from Xiao Lixun is +2756.]
[Ding-dong!]
[Successfully created the despicable character, 100% perfect portrayal, reward: one high-grade Devil Fruit.]
[The advanced Devil Fruit has been distributed and automatically added to your system inventory. You can retrieve it yourself.]
It's done!
I've received my reward!
He Xie felt a slight thrill.
After achieving his goal, he stopped acting like a jerk and messing with the barbershop owner.
He immediately opened his system inventory, clicked on the Devil Fruit icon, and checked the item information.
[Advanced Devil Fruit]: After consumption, a large number of mutation factors will be generated in the body, which are often used to break through the barrier of advanced creatures evolving into mutated creatures.
He Xie quickly glanced at the prompt and immediately felt somewhat disappointed.
This is not the Devil Fruit he imagined.
However, he soon became somewhat excited again.
This is a rare and wonderful flower and fruit that can help organisms evolve from the higher realm to the realm of mutation.
With this fruit, he would be 100% guaranteed to transform into a mutated creature before the college entrance examination.
At that time, he won't even be the top scorer in the city.
He was the top scorer in the province.
Even the top scorer in the country.
All of this is easy for him to do, as long as he has hands.
Of course, this is on the premise that the college entrance examinations in various regions can be synchronized nationwide.
"Handsome, your sister's done."
He Xie was still fantasizing about his amazing performance in the college entrance examination when the barber shop owner in front of him suddenly turned around and looked at him.
So fast?
Less than five minutes have passed.
He Xie was puzzled, so he went around the chair and glanced at his third sister sitting on it.
Then he froze for a moment.
Just a few minutes ago, the third sister could be seen wearing cute pigtails, but now she has been cut into a bowl cut.
It looks like a combination of Chibi Maruko-chan and Crayon Shin-chan, with an overall image that's incredibly adorable.
The shop owner said, "Young man, look how well this haircut looks! It's cute and will turn heads. I'm really losing money by only charging you 50 yuan."
He Xie: "Great haircut. I'll bring a few more friends to your shop tomorrow."
Boss: "Haha, you're too kind."
He Xie: "You're welcome. You'd better bring a few more people to the shop tomorrow, so you don't say I'm bullying you because there are too many of us."
boss:"???"
[The contrast value from Xiao Lixun is +2354.]
......
The orphanage, in the living room.
As soon as He Xie brought Li Muke home, everyone in the house was immediately drawn to her.
Liu Yan: "He Xie, what's up with your third sister's hairstyle?"
He Xie: "I'm tired of seeing my hair in pigtails all the time, so it's nice to change my hairstyle occasionally."
Zhao Keying: "But it's so ugly."
He Xie: "That's called cute."
Song Yuxin: "......"
He Xie: "......"
Gu Xinyao: "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Xiao Mu Ke, your hairstyle is hilarious!"
Li Muke: "Hehehe!"
Young Li Muke already looked simple-minded, and now that she's back with a bowl cut and that silly grin, she looks even more adorably goofy.
He Xie could no longer hold back and immediately burst into laughter.
Hahahaha!
He can't do it.
He really couldn't bring himself to lie and say that his third sister's hairstyle was cute.
What a complete idiot!
Hahahaha!
......
After the meal, the six family members each did their own thing.
In order to successfully transform into a mutated creature before the college entrance examination, He Xie immediately went into his room to cultivate and train after finishing his meal.
At this moment, he didn't need to worry about not having digested his meal yet.
Because when he ate, he directly used his biological skills to devour and digest the food, so there wasn't much food in his stomach.
It does not hinder high-intensity exercise at all.
......
I practiced breathing exercises for half an hour.
[Qi and Blood +356.]
[Spirit +234.]
[Vitality +125.]
[Recovery +5%.]
Hardness +13%.
[Toughness +15%.]
......
I used four Super Boost Cards to train my body intensively for two hours.
[Qi and Blood +998.]
......
I pulled out past exam papers from recent years and spent half an hour cramming on evolutionary theory questions.
First test paper: 89 points.
Second paper: 95 points.
Third paper: 92 points.
......
After spending three hours completing all of this, He Xie did a brief self-reflection and felt that even if he were to take the college entrance examination now, no one in the entire Nanjiang Province would be able to surpass him.
"I don't know exactly how strong my physical fitness is now, it's been a long time since I tested my data."
With that thought, He Xie left the orphanage.
While the gym is still open, I'll go test my current physical fitness to see what level I've reached.
......
Extreme Fitness Center.
This is the gym where He Xie first came to test his punching power.
It's almost 10 p.m., but the gym is still brightly lit, and everywhere you look you see men sweating profusely from intense workouts.
There were very few women and students; it was almost entirely middle-aged men who were a bit older.
A significant number of them had scars all over their bodies, the kind that were shocking to look at, as if they had fought with some ferocious beast.
He Xie guessed that these people must be monster hunters.
He was quite curious about this, and soon redeemed dozens of Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy cards from the system store, and began to peer into their biometric information panels one by one.
The biological levels all look pretty high.
Most are at the advanced level three or four, with a few reaching the advanced level seven or eight.
One of the more powerful ones reached the first stage of mutation.
It was a transplant recipient, with two scarlet beast horns on his head.
Coupled with his fierce and menacing face, he looked like a demon from hell.
His aura is very intimidating.
He Xie observed the man from afar, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
What exactly is a transplant recipient?
Will they feel unwell?
Can they be invincible among their peers?
I hope to meet a transplant recipient during the college entrance examination.
He Xie thought to himself, filled with curiosity and interest in the mysterious and rare transplant recipients.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much and quickly headed towards the punching power testing machine.
The simplest and quickest way to test physical fitness is to test punching power.
He wanted to finish the test quickly and then go home to sleep.
Otherwise, if I can't get up tomorrow morning, I'll waste the best time for cultivation, which is said to be the best time of day, resulting in low cultivation efficiency.
This is something he doesn't want to see.

P.S.: I'm setting up the bowls, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendations!
