"Shoo, shoo, shoo, go and play your games. This is a talent of mine, you can't learn it."

Xia Xu waved his hand dismissively, and the others also left one after another.

However, Xia Xu was not lying. He relied on a talent that others couldn't learn to find Zhuo Ren.

Name: Zhuo Ren

Lifeform Level: 1

Potential Destiny: Pickpocket (1 Star)

Potential Talent: Sprint (1 Star)

Speciality: None

Obsession: I must buy that limited edition weapon this time.

Favorability: 5

This was the status of Zhuo Ren he had just discovered.

As the saying goes, stealing a needle as a kid, stealing a piece of gold as an adult. This saying was quite similar. With the potential of being a pickpocket, it would be strange if he didn't steal anything during his daily school life.

Moreover, Zhuo Ren happened to be one of the people present when Tang Youxin returned the money. He could clearly see the situation from his seat, so he was obviously suspicious.

Even the obsession column vaguely proved this. Although an obsession was not as ridiculous as a mind reading technique, one could tell from its name that this was also a reflection of the biological mind, and it was a relatively strong 'obsession'.

A game equipment that could be labeled with the word 'limited edition' was usually not cheap. An obsession to buy a limited edition item proved that Zhuo Ren had a strong motive, or that he had something he must do after obtaining a lot of money.

'I didn't expect this ability to be so useful.'

After this small experiment, Xia Xu, who was already quite satisfied with his special ability, became even more satisfied.

It seemed like he was only looking at a few attributes, but there were too many things that could be vaguely revealed on the status. With just a little brain analysis, he could obtain information and convenience that ordinary people could not.

"Can… Can I buy you something to eat?"

After returning the wallet to Tang Youxin, Xia Xu was about to go home, but Tang Youxin suddenly summoned her courage and invited him.

"What? You want to thank me?"

Xia Xu glanced at her in surprise, but this time he did not refuse. "Okay, let's go to the back door. I haven't eaten hotpot in a long time."

Just like what he used to scare Tang Youxin in the past, he could vaguely feel the 'pride' that Tang Youxin carefully protected.

After all, he had helped her find a few thousand yuan. No matter how he looked at it, it was not a trivial matter. If he refused to let her thank him now, it would only backfire.

Moreover, if she couldn't end this favor, she would probably worry about gains and losses for a long time.

"Okay."

After hearing Xia Xu agree, Tang Youxin, who was fidgeting with the corner of her shirt, was relieved.

It was obviously a treat, but she didn't feel like the person treating at all. Instead, she let Xia Xu take the lead and walk in front while she followed behind with her head lowered.

When she arrived at the spicy hotpot stall at the back gate of the school, Tang Youxin was obviously a little nervous.

Fortunately, Xia Xu only casually ordered a piece of instant noodles and some vegetables. After putting them into a paper bowl, it looked like a lot, but in fact, it was only seven to eight yuan.

"Not eating?"

Xia Xu tilted his head and asked, but he already knew the answer.

"No, thanks."

Tang Youxin handed over the ten yuan note and paid the bill before walking forward.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Xia Xu took the paper bowl and ate as he followed behind. After taking a few mouthfuls of instant noodles, he picked up two pieces of kelp with a smile and handed it over. "Here, this is for you."

"I don't want."

Tang Youxin quietly swallowed her saliva, which had been kept secret by the fragrant and spicy smell of the entire street. She turned her head and avoided the food near her lips.

"It's all your saliva now. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

Xia Xu looked annoyed and was about to throw it away.

Needless to say, the soft-tempered little white flower was completely controlled by the 'bad guy', and she was forced to accept the food.

Yes, she was forced. She swore that she was not greedy.

The bowl of hot and numbing soup was filled to the brim and most of the instant noodles went into Xia Xu's stomach. Half of the vegetables were eaten by him while the other half was fed to her.

After eating, the two walked together in silence for a while before finally parting ways due to the different paths.

Xia Xu walked for about ten minutes before returning to his lonely home.

There was nothing much to introduce about his house. It was old and dilapidated, with only a narrow one-bedroom. The location was also very remote. Because of the terrain, it seemed to be built on a small hill, so he had to climb stairs when he went back.

The terrain of the hillside seemed to be separated from the surrounding cities, completely lacking the prosperity of the city. The houses on it were all pale and shabby, the only advantage was quietness.

The environment here was worse than a village. At least in a village, he might be able to inherit a few acres of land, so he wouldn't have to stay in this cramped house. He wouldn't even be able to rent it out. If it was in the city, he would also have relatives and friends helping him, instead of having aloof strangers.

The instant noodles in the spicy soup were quite filling, so Xia Xu was too lazy to make dinner. After washing up, he fell asleep.

The next day, Saturday.

Fortunately, there were no regular lessons disguised as 'extra lessons' for the weekend.

This kind of 'extra lessons' was the most disgusting. It would have been fine if it was a weekend tutoring session to help students who couldn't keep up, but they still carried out classes at the normal pace. Those who couldn't keep up were still unable to catch up.

Not going was not an option. Not only was the extra lesson mandatory, but not going to these regular classes would also delay your progress. If it was winter or summer vacation, it would be even more disgusting. They would still have to continue with their regular lessons and collect extra tuition fees. The so-called tuition classes were basically regular lessons that were deliberately slowed down.

Summer of Planet Aquamarine had been regulated relatively early on, so there were basically no more 'mandatory extra lessons'.

However, Xia Xu still had to go to school, and he went there early in the morning. However, he did not go to class, instead he continued to monitor Xue Mingjie's noodle shop.

Xue Mingjie did not gain anything on the first day. He continued to guard the half-dead noodle restaurant, which was getting lesser and lesser business over the weekend.

The noodle shop was still used for both business and accommodation. The small noodle shop was in front, and the room behind was where Xue Mingjie lived. Xia Xu waited anxiously from morning until he closed the stall and closed the shop, but he didn't find anything. Not to mention the main character, he didn't even see a supporting character.

'It's just a bet, they don't have to prepare for half a month, right?'

The next day, Sunday, after waiting for an entire morning, Xia Xu began to complain.

Tomorrow was Monday. If he had to go to school, it would not be as convenient to keep an eye on him. Even if he waited until the storyline began, it would be difficult to follow him.
