"..."
Without realizing it, I saw one of Sun Xinxin's bodyguards handing me a bag of potato chips.
At first, I intended to leave right after receiving the chips.
But who would've thought—Sun Xinxin, she cleared her throat right next to me.
"Ahem. Don't you want to ask something about me?"
"Oh. I'm very grateful for this bag of chips. If anything happens, feel free to come and ask for my help," I replied; I had absolutely no intention of lingering near Sun Xinxin.
Unfortunately, it didn't matter whether I wanted to walk away or not.
Look at her—Sun Xinxin clearly had no intention of letting me leave her presence.
For a moment, I turned slightly toward her face.
Sadly, just when I thought this woman, Sun Xinxin, was looking for trouble...
I saw a box filled with bags of potato chips—something that could easily catch my attention.
These are... high-quality chips?!
No. I must stay calm. I was warned by my father and mother.
"This... Miss Sun, how could you possibly give me an entire box of chips?" I asked; I had no idea why Sun Xinxin wanted to give me so many.
Luckily, Sun Xinxin showed a satisfied expression when she saw my reaction.
"You like them? You can take them. They're all free!"
'Free... I want them...'
But just as I was thinking I had to accept her gift...
I remembered my parents' words—I mustn't accept valuable things for free.
"Wait. I don't have enough money with me. But I hope this item can bring you protection."
For a moment, a slight look of confusion crossed Sun Xinxin's face.
When she saw what was in my hand, she recognized it immediately—a toy.
"What is this...? A balloon sword? Is he serious?" murmured the students behind me; they couldn't hold back their reactions when they saw the toy sword.
In their minds, they believed the item I handed over was useless.
But alas, they had no idea that something made from a balloon could be one of the deadliest weapons.
If this sword were to slash the sky, it wouldn't be impossible for the moon above to split in two.
At first, the students behind me thought there was no way their idol would accept such a ridiculous gift.
But surprisingly, Sun Xinxin happily accepted the toy sword from my hand.
'I knew it. He's actually a shy guy. Pretending not to care, but giving me this toy.'
As I walked out of the school cafeteria, I saw Zhang Hao waiting for me.
If I recall correctly, I think this guy wanted to ask me a few questions.
"Han Li... Do you have a crush on Miss Sun? How could you give her something that useless?"
"Not at all. To me, the gift I gave is the safest thing for her."
"The safest? Sigh... I don't think she took your words seriously."
Is that so? I don't care.
As long as I gave Sun Xinxin the safest item, I have no problem.
Sooner or later, that toy sword might just save her life.
Shreek!
As I opened one of the bags of chips, I immediately popped a chip into my mouth.
I must admit—I really liked the taste of these high-quality potato chips.
Since I was a kid, I was always forbidden to eat too many chips.
But now, I know there's no way my parents would stop me from eating a few bags.
In fact, I had already stored an entire box of chips in my storage pouch.
Speaking of which, I'm truly grateful my father gave me this pouch.
When I look at it, I realize the pouch in my pocket is actually some kind of magical technology.
Maybe because of that, I can store thousands of items inside.
"I don't care. I just want to finish the student admission ceremony quickly. See you."
"You're really strange. But alright, I hope you find your luck."
"...."
Just as I disappeared from Zhang Hao's sight, I heard the loud sound of a microphone.
I had to admit—I knew that loud voice was the start of small club promotions.
If I'm not mistaken, at Jinshi High School, every student is required to join a school group.
But judging by the offers being made, I wasn't interested at all.
"Reader's Group! Come and join us! If you love reading books and novels, please sign up!"
"Sports Group! One of the official groups of the school! You've got nothing to lose by joining us! We'll gladly welcome you!"
"Cooking group..."
"Science and technology group..."
Honestly, I had to admit—so many of these small groups offered luxurious facilities.
Just look, one of them was even a group dedicated solely to science and tech.
That alone proves how impossible it is for technology to be forgotten in the modern world.
'That's right… My father and mother are scientists. Great people. They've created many tools to help humanity. Eliminating disaster-level monsters, destroying those above the Castaporice stage. Truly amazing...'
If you asked whether I was proud to be born into the Han family, the answer is obvious.
I'm really happy. This is the first time I've experienced the power of science.
Even if science can't compete with cultivation, I'm perfectly fine with that.
From the beginning, I knew I had spent 90 trillion years reincarnating.
And now, I wonder—has the normal world, like Earth, changed?
For a moment, I recalled the scene where my parents said that cultivation was no longer useful.
"They were right… The world has changed. Time has passed. And I guess I've traveled through space and time, spending 90 trillion years in reincarnation," I muttered, remembering the time I calculated how long I had been drifting through space and time.
If it weren't for that strange circle that formed beneath my feet, I could never have been reincarnated.
A blessing… This must be a reward from my struggles in my first life.
StepStepStep
Within minutes, I saw a man wearing glasses turn toward the students of Jinshi Academy.
Soul Formation…
That was the power level of the man on stage, proving he was truly an expert.
"Congratulations to all new students; you've been accepted into Jinshi High School. I hope your future shines brightly!"
"Principal Ji... I heard he used to be a partner of Master Liu Wei. But that was two years ago; now he's retired and established Jinshi High School."
"What? So he was once Master Liu Wei's colleague?! Amazing! No wonder he gives off such a charismatic aura!" praised a female student—none other than the girl I met at the school gate.
Judging by her expression, I could tell she truly admired the man named Liu Wei.
Unfortunately, the arrogant guy from earlier was quick to object to her words.
"Childish! I swear Liu Wei is just an ordinary human!"
"You again?! You shameless guy! Where's your sense of manners?!"
"Little wench, I suggest you shut your mouth. Disturbing this young master is no different than courting death."
"Y-You called me a little wench?! How dare you! Three Blossom—"
But just as the two students near the front of the ceremony were about to fight—
I heard Principal Ji clear his throat, as if exerting pressure on them.
Even the students nearby could feel the intensity of what was happening.
