Fang Xin took a bite of his meal.
Relatively speaking, Fang Xin still preferred his cousin, Jiang Xiaocha, who was well-behaved, studious, polite, and kind-hearted like his aunt.
As for Jiang Xiaoyu, she perfectly inherited her father's inferior genes of judging people and favoring the rich.
Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Xin chuckled, "Don't worry, even the dead skin from my heel is better than your talent!"
"How disgusting!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Fang Xin with disdain, then snorted again, "I'd like to see what level of talent you awaken then!"
After speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the potion and returned to her room.
Aunt Fang Huilan came out of her room, her eyes a little red, her hands tightly clutching her apron, and she looked apologetically at her eldest daughter Jiang Xiaocha's door.
After hesitating for a long time, she still went over and knocked on the door, "Xiao Cha! Is it convenient for Mom to come in and talk to you for a bit!"
Jiang Xiaocha's voice came from inside the room, "Mom, I'm asleep. Let's talk tomorrow if there's anything!"
Fang Huilan sighed.
She returned to the dining table and glanced at the potion on it.
Nowadays, it was the era of the Awakened, and many important jobs were monopolized by the Awakened. Non-Awakened like Jiang Weidong and Fang Huilan could only find low-paying jobs to supplement their household income.
"Xiao Xin, don't be angry about what your uncle said just now. Show him some achievements and let him see that my nephew is not a coward."
Remember our 101kanshu.com.
Fang Xin looked at his aunt with a touch of heartache. They say a good man doesn't get a good wife, but a scoundrel gets a good wife.
For Jiang Weidong to marry a virtuous and kind woman like Fang Huilan was truly like his ancestral grave smoking with good fortune.
Fang Xin often felt sorry for his aunt. Ever since his parents passed away, his aunt had taken meticulous care of him.
"It's okay, Aunt. I'm full."
As he put the dishes into the sink, preparing to wash them, Fang Huilan gently patted Fang Xin's shoulder, "Go back to your room and read. I'll wash them."
Fang Xin returned to his room, his phone vibrating continuously in his pocket.
The class group chat already had 99+ messages.
The homeroom teacher announced that talent tests would be held the day after tomorrow and the day after that. If conditions allowed, students should buy a potion in advance.
The full name of this potion was Space-X. It was a potion capable of maximizing the awakening of human potential, developed by the research team of the internationally renowned Leon Corporation.
However, after this item was manufactured, nearly 80% of it was taken by those powerful consortiums and influential family organizations, so only a pitiful 20% flowed to ordinary people in the lower class.
During the talent test, injecting the potion would increase the success rate by 10% to 15%. This was equivalent to adding ten to fifteen points to the college entrance exam, so many families were willing to spend money to buy a potion for their children.
This year, the test model had undergone reforms.
Talent tests had been conducted since high school.
Everyone had two chances before graduating from senior year.
So, first and second-year high school students could also participate early.
Because of the two chances, some people would use one chance early. If their talent test was good enough, they could enjoy generous subsidies in advance.
This was why Jiang Xiaoyu, who was only in her second year of high school, wanted to take the talent test.
Ever since the homeroom teacher Cheng Wenjin announced the news, the group messages hadn't stopped.
The person who sent the most messages in the group was named Qin Junhao.
His nickname was "Plain and Unremarkable Rich Second Generation."
His studies were average, his appearance was ordinary, but his family background was quite wealthy. His father was a well-known local businessman.
From the day Fang Xin met Qin Junhao, Qin Junhao had been dedicated to being an excellent employee in the core Link of the inflatable doll production line.
He would die if he didn't show off for a second.
A year ago, Qin Junhao bullied and caused the death of a poor student. After Qin Junhao got away with it using his family's connections, Fang Xin never gave Qin Junhao a good look again.
Qin Junhao rapidly sent more than a dozen photos of a potion contained in an exquisite box.
"Sigh, my dad is really something. I told him no, no, but he insisted on buying them for me. Now look, he bought me twenty potions in one go!"
"Don't spread rumors, these weren't taken in my bedroom, they were taken in the bodyguard's room. My room isn't that simple."
"Qin Junhao @ Chu Xinyao, Chu Xinyao, have you bought your potions? If you don't have enough, I'll bring my bodyguard team to personally deliver two to your house!"
Chu Xinyao, known as the class beauty, coldly replied, "No need."
Qin Junhao, feeling rebuffed, immediately turned his attention to Fang Xin.
Fang Xin came from a good family, was handsome, and studied well, which always annoyed Qin Junhao, who felt that Fang Xin was always one step ahead of him.
"Qin Junhao @ Fang Xin, Fang Xin, I heard someone say they saw your aunt and uncle when they were buying potions. They only managed to buy two. This thing, having money isn't enough, you also need connections.
I heard you have two younger sisters. Three people and two potions, obviously not enough to share. Why don't you beg me? I can sell you one!"
Just as Fang Xin was about to retort, his phone vibrated, and the class beauty Chu Xinyao sent a message.
"Chu Xinyao @ Fang Xin, Xiao Fang, I happen to have extra potions here. You can come to my house to pick them up, or if you don't have time, I can deliver them to your house!"
The ambiguous tone of her words made many people sense something else.
Fang Xin smiled slightly. It was quite a coincidence. This cute girl with a round face had been classmates with Fang Xin since kindergarten, and they remained in the same high school and class up to now.
"No need, Xiao Chu."
"Qin Junhao @ Chu Xinyao, Xinyao, he doesn't want it, but I do! I do! Give it to me!"
Qin Junhao was muted by the administrator Chu Xinyao for half an hour.
They say those who don't get it are restless. Even though Qin Junhao was a professional rich second generation, Chu Xinyao still ignored him, which made Young Master Qin very sad. Seeing Chu Xinyao being so kind to Fang Xin, Young Master Qin always wanted to target Fang Xin.
With Qin Junhao, the show-off, out of the group, it became much quieter.
Someone brought the topic back.
"I heard from my old classmate that their school, the First High School next door, produced an A-grade Mental Talent! Several special departments immediately took notice and fought over him!"
"I'm so envious. My demands aren't high; a B-grade would be enough!"
"I wonder who in our class will get the best talent!"
"I think it should be Fang Xin! Xin Ge studies so well, his talent definitely won't be bad!"
"That's not necessarily true. There have been cases where good students tested with very poor talents, and some even consistently ranked at the top in cultural exams but tested as nothing, not even an E-grade!"
The person who said this was Xu Xiaoqiang, Qin Junhao's loyal lackey.
"I think my Hao Ge is the most awesome!"
"The final result will be known when the talent test results come out!"
The homeroom teacher Cheng Wenjin sent a message, "Classmates, everyone, please relax. No matter what the final test results are, everyone should face it calmly. This is the first talent test of senior year. Even if it's not ideal this time, we still have specialized practice and will go all out for the second test! It's getting late, everyone should go to bed!"
Fang Xin put down his phone.
He raised his palm, looking at the back of his hand. His pupils slowly turned scarlet, and a dozen crimson, bloodthirsty runes appeared on his knuckles, four of which were particularly scarlet.
It was as if it were a hand of slaughter.
His grandfather had opened a small restaurant in the town, and Fang Xin went to help. While killing a chicken, he activated this Slaughter Talent.
As he slaughtered, Fang Xin's overall abilities steadily increased. Whether it was strength, speed, agility, or his five senses and six consciousnesses, they all improved. The most terrifying among them was Fang Xin's self-healing ability.
Later, he accidentally encountered Stranger . These abnormal people were also a type of Awakened, but after gaining abilities, their desires were infinitely magnified, and they committed all kinds of evil acts like burning, killing, robbing, and plundering.
After being forced to act on one occasion, Fang Xin discovered that killing such abnormal people could greatly enhance his own abilities.
Since then, Fang Xin had targeted such people, killing his way up to the present.
Currently, Fang Xin's combat ability was considered top-tier among those of the same level.
Moreover, Fang Xin's Slaughter Talent was unknown to anyone unless he actively displayed it.
Since his grandfather told Fang Xin not to easily display this Slaughter Talent, he would use the Strength Talent Awakened through the Slaughter Talent instead.
Although the Strength Talent was not as powerful as the Slaughter Talent, it was by no means inferior.
The next morning.
After breakfast, he went to school.
The classmates in the class arrived exceptionally early today.
He hadn't even warmed his seat in the classroom yet.
The homeroom teacher Cheng Wenjin, wearing a dress and with a beautiful face, arrived.
"Classmates, don't be nervous, relax. Inject the potion only after I notify you. Oh, by the way, are there any students who don't have a potion yet?"
Qin Junhao shook his middle-parted hair.
Hearing this, he immediately turned his head to look at Fang Xin, who was sitting by the window, and said with a fake smile.
"Fang Xin, the teacher is asking you!"
Before Fang Xin could speak, the pretty girl with a round face sitting in front of Fang Xin opened her backpack and took out a potion.
"Teacher, I brought one for Fang Xin!"
As she spoke, she placed the potion on Fang Xin's desk and smiled sweetly, revealing two cute little fangs.
Qin Junhao's face immediately fell.
Cheng Wenjin smiled slightly, "It's still the same thing, everyone, don't be nervous, relax a bit. Your mindset also has a big impact on the test. I see that all the students in our class are exceptional, and you will definitely get good talents! Even an S-grade is possible!"
A classmate said, "That must be Fang Xin!"
"Who said that! An S-grade must be my Hao Ge!" Qin Junhao's little follower, Xu Xiaoqiang, immediately said.
Amidst the noise.
A voice came.
"Teacher Cheng, could you step out for a moment!"
Everyone looked over. The principal was standing at the door, and behind him were two other people.
One was wearing a trench coat and a top hat.
The other had short silver hair and ice-blue eyes.
"What's wrong, Principal?"
The principal motioned for the door to be closed, looked into the classroom through the window, and asked curiously.
"Teacher Cheng, which one is Qin Junhao?"
