Chapter 20:

Gao Yan looked at Chu Qianxun lying on the bed, her half-length hair was glued to her face with sweat, curled into a ball because of pain.
In Gao Yan's memory, Chu Qianxun had a cold temperament and acted decisively, giving people an impression of toughness and strength.
At this moment, she discovered that this friend lying on the bed was not too tall, and even had a slenderness characteristic of a girl.
She is a soft and fragile woman in essence like herself. It is only because of living in such troubled times that she has to cover herself with layers of hard shells, so that she can stand in the wind and sand and share the benefits of those monsters. The claws resisted.
Gao Yan couldn't help but think back to the time before the magic seed came, when she had many friends and her personality was gentler than now. As the demons descend from the sky, man-eating monsters are rampant in the world. Those friends died, demonized, separated, betrayed.
How many died in the mouth of a monster, and how many people had their heads cut off by her own hands? She can't remember. The deeper the relationship between each other, the more pain they will suffer when parting with each other. So she gradually learned to reject others thousands of miles away.
On Chu Qianxun's white neck, there were a series of terrifying green lines, and the green lines like blood vessels bulged under the skin, pulsating, and spreading to the cheeks.
The scapula of her back even gave birth to a butterfly-like membrane. The transparent membrane came out of the collar, wet and trembling in the air, preparing to unfold, it would be a pair of huge wings.
This is a symbol of the beginning of demonization. If you can't survive, the friend on the bed who was smiling and talking with him a moment ago will completely turn into a man-eating monster.
Gao Yan reached out to hold the hilt of her sword, and found that her palms were all sweaty, so sticky that she could not even hold the hilt.
She wiped her palms desperately on her clothes in a panic, feeling that she was almost crying.
She has been alone for too long. This is her only friend, and she finally made a friend.
Gao Yan drew out the long sword in her hand. Her sword was thin and long, glowing with blue light, and the sharp blue blade rested on Chu Qianxun's neck.
"Chu Qianxun, wake up for me, or the old lady can cut off your head!" The sight in front of her was blurred by something that didn't know whether it was tears or sweat. Gao Yan wiped her face, "Have you heard , Dead woman! I wake you up!"
Her white neck was motionless under the blade.
Fair?
Gao Yan wiped his eyes, and was surprised to find that the green veins entrenched on Chu Qianxun's neck had begun to fade, and the film bulging out of his back began to shrink.
Chu Qianxun opened his eyes and glanced at her, "It's so noisy... it's so noisy."
Gao Yan hugged Chu Qianxun who barely got up, "Dead woman, I know you can pass this level."
Chu Qianxun’s chin rested on Gao Yan’s shoulders, her five senses and consciousness that she had just upgraded were extremely clear and sharp, but her body still had a little bit of strength.
"Sister Yan, are you crying."
"Nonsense, you want to be beautiful. Who would cry for such a thing? Without you, there are so many friends."
"It feels so good to have friends. It's really boring to be alone." Chu Qianxun closed his eyes, "I seem to hear you crying, I hear you and... another person crying. I really I don't want to see you cry, so I woke up."
The news of Chu Qianxun's promotion to the fifth rank spread quickly in the tube building.
After all, in such a small building, Tier 5 can already be regarded as a little bit of cards.
In Spring City, most ordinary people or those low-level and useless auxiliary saints live in chaotic and disorderly areas like black streets and poor living conditions.
And the large number of middle and low-level fighters like Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan are much better than those. According to their abilities, they have the opportunity to be allocated a small independent space in such a brick-and-concrete building. .
Most of the people living in this tube building are middle and low-rank saints of the third to fifth order. Although everyone's ranks are not much different. But as everyone knows, Tier 4 is a difficult hurdle to overcome, and being able to reach Tier 5 means that this person may have unlimited possibilities in the future. It's always right to make friends at this time.
Therefore, in the past two days, whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, it can be regarded as a few congratulations or close friends. Even the stingy mad woman living downstairs, holding a small bag of biscuits, came up and sat down symbolically.
"Chihiro, if you develop in the future, you can't forget our sisters who have survived together." The freckled mad woman unilaterally promoted Chu Qianxun to the position of sister, only half of the small bag. The slapped cookies, which have expired and don't know how long, stay on the table.
In contrast, the gift Lin Sheng brought was much more generous. If the former power saint's attitude towards Chu Qianxun was a bit implicit and ambiguous, now that he learned that Chu Qianxun was also upgraded to Tier 5 He could not restrain himself from showing his blatant pursuit.
Lin Sheng was born in a poor family in the countryside. Because of his lack of cultural knowledge in the golden age, he had to rely on manual labor to live on construction sites in cities.
He is strong, tall, and very diligent. With the top salary in the construction team, his income is not much worse than that of the little white-collar workers sitting in the office. But there is always a sense of inferiority hidden in his heart, and he feels that he is incompatible with this feasting city. Every day when he came down from the construction site, he was covered in dust and squeezed on the bus. The gazes of the brightly-dressed city people around him seemed to always look at him with contempt and disgust, making him feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the magic seed came suddenly, and the people in the high city suddenly fell from the clouds together, rolling in the dust like him, and everyone was ashamed. The English and computers they know no longer work in this world. He could only adapt at a loss in an unfamiliar environment like he did at the beginning. On the contrary, it is a man like Lin Sheng who has the strength and has a lot of craftsmanship that is very popular in this era.
He also got the power of the power system. The golden age dismissed him. The beautiful girls in the city also yelled around him, letting go of their lofty appearance, and treated him. Please in every way.
Lin Sheng felt very satisfied, he didn't even want to go back to the past time like others.
Of course, although these girls used to be something he couldn't even think of, now he is very different, so naturally he has to choose them carefully.
Sometimes people are like this. The ones who send them to the door don't like them, but the ones who can't get them are even more irritating. Xiaojuan downstairs, who has a beautiful appearance and good figure, has sneaked into her room in the middle of the night countless times. But Lin Sheng couldn't let go of Chu Qianxun who ignored him in the same team.
Perhaps it was because Chu Qianxun was a female college student with the taste of an intellectual that he had never wanted before. In his heart, he always felt that it was the happiest thing to let such a woman be his wife.
What's more, Qianxun is now a fifth-order saint, earning no less than her own demons, marrying her, not only can serve herself, but also bring more than half of the family's income. Lin Sheng decided to take this woman down.
To this end, he gritted his teeth and bought a bag of white noodles and leeks, and made a plate of dumplings with his own hands. Although the sales are not very good, white noodles and vegetables are rare these years, and ordinary people may not be able to afford them during the New Year. What's more, he is such a big man who cooks with his own hands. Which woman can't be moved to death?
Lin Sheng brought this kind of food, and he was quite sure about Chu Qianxun, his eyes were so hot that he almost didn't need to hide it.
Looking at Lin Sheng's enthusiasm, Chu Qianxun felt a little overwhelmed.
Lin Sheng's figure is tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. On the surface, he looks simple and honest, peculiar to rural people. He is also a fifth-order power saint. He is welcomed by many women in this building, but Chu Qianxun He has no special affection for him, and has clearly expressed his rejection more than once.
But this man seemed to be unable to understand the face left to him by others, and instead he stalked him in the past few days.
Chu Qianxun didn't intend to leave him room anymore, she reached out and blocked the door without even letting the energetic Lin Sheng enter the house.
"Brother Lin," said Chu Qianxun, "for no reason, how can I pick up your precious food. I took it with my heart, so I should take it back and eat it with Sister Xiaojuan or someone else."
"Chihiro, don't be so polite, why is this for no reason? I am really happy for you." Lin Sheng still rushed into it with interest.
Chu Qianxun didn't move his hand on the door frame, and his face was already lowered.
Only then did Lin Sheng understand that Chu Qianxun was really rejecting him, not the shy or cowardly methods of girls he thought.
"Chihiro, what do you mean?" Lin Sheng was anxious, "Did you listen to some gossip, Xiaojuan and I have nothing to do, I'm only right..."
"Lin Sheng, I think I have said it very clearly." Chu Qianxun made it clear, "I have no interest in you. As for whom you are interested in, it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Sheng's entire face turned red in an instant, and he was carrying the pot of dumplings, neither going in nor retreating.
The voices around me were so mixed, there seemed to be people laughing. Hearing in his ears, I felt that the entire corridor was pointing at him and watching his jokes. The respected days of the past few years have disappeared at this moment, and he seems to have returned to the age that was despised by others before the arrival of the magic seed.
Lin Sheng’s skin was very dark, with a small flat head and big white teeth. When he smiled, he had a simple and honest look, but when he sank his face, the oily skin trembled, revealing something deep in his heart. Hostile.
He suddenly grasped Chu Qianxun's wrist, pushed Chu Qianxun into the room, and slammed the door with his backhand.
Lin Sheng is a power saint, he knows that this woman is far inferior to him in strength.
"Smelly female cousin, if you are not interesting to me, why do you always talk to me with a smile on weekdays, so that your father's appetite is caught up, and you want to pretend to be lofty and shake your father for fun."
Quite a few people quietly watched the excitement inside and outside the tube building. Some people shook their heads and closed the door, while others listened to the movement in the room with their ears erect.
"It's better to let Lin Sheng go in. It seems that this kid is very rich today."
"Women, they all have to dress up."
"It's just a beating to a woman, and if you slap it down, you only know you cry."
Several wretched men stared at the thin wooden door and started talking. They even remembered the scene inside the door.
With a loud bang, the door leaf was rushed open by the huge air current, and the broken sawdust hit the men together with the sticky dumplings.
Lin Sheng stepped back out of the room with a sullen expression, his forehead and arms were cut open with several mouths, and the thin blood flowed half of his face.
Chu Qianxun stood at the open door with a knife in one hand and a thin wind blade in the other.
At Tier 4, her understanding of the wind was to manipulate as much as possible and attack the enemy with as much wind pressure as possible. After breaking through the fourth order, she suddenly gained a deeper understanding of air flow. She began to be able to grasp the air flow more accurately, compressing the air in a small area to the extreme, so as to form countless small and smart at the same time. The wind blade makes the enemy hard to defend.
Lin Sheng, who had learned this trick for the first time, was unprepared for a while and immediately suffered.
"It's rare for me to reach the fifth rank. Since Brother Lin wants to practice with me, then we will practice here."
Chu Qianxun's voice was very flat, but Lin Sheng knew that her killing intent was not weak. As long as he did something, this woman who saw him with one move might actually cut off his head.
When men and women have great disparity in physical strength, men tend to be strong, domineering, or brave and fearless in front of women.
But when the abilities are equivalent, these people may not be as braver than women as they imagined, regardless of life or death.
The men who had just discussed about women's refusal to persuade them, clutching their swollen heads, withdrew into their rooms without a word.
Lin Sheng's face was green and white. In the end, there was no courage to start with Chu Qianxun. I had to hold back the anger and leave in grief.
When Gao Yan heard about this incident, Chu Qianxun had already found a new door panel to install her door.
"Since you are in a stalemate with Lin Sheng, you have to be more careful in the field work tomorrow. After all, a team member is worried that this villain will trip you behind." Gao Yan helped Chu Qianxun hold the door.
"I see." Chu Qianxun installed the screws without raising his head.
