SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Lin Mu paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and then slammed the door shut.

The room returned to calm.

Su Nianhe's eyes grew increasingly cold, and a sharp killing intent emanated from her body.

She parted her red lips slightly:

"My whereabouts are only known to that hidden SS-rank mutant in the upper city... Trying to use someone else to do your dirty work?"

"Are you so afraid of my life? Ha..."

12:15 noon.

Inside the Jiangnan University administration building.

Lin Mu sat opposite Coach Chen and calmly explained the theory to him for an hour.

Every word he said gave Coach Chen a profound sense of enlightenment.

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he looked at Coach Chen and said calmly:

"Coach Chen, I don't need to attend the academy's theoretical classes anymore, right?"

Coach Chen was both pleasantly surprised and somewhat embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded: "Okay, that's fine."

He then changed the subject, looking at Lin Mu with concern: "But Lin Mu, I've seen your file."

"You became an Awakened One six years ago, but six years have passed and you're still stuck at Rank Zero, right?"

"That's right," Lin Mu replied frankly.

"You can skip theory classes, but you absolutely cannot skip physical education classes!"

Coach Chen's tone turned serious: "Awakened beings can only break through by pushing the limits of the human body."

"The transition from zero to three levels can be achieved through systematic, high-intensity training."

"But above the third rank, one must fight on the battlefield and repeatedly overcome death to have a chance to advance, and each rank is more difficult than the last."

He looked at Lin Mu and offered words of heartfelt comfort:

"The third tier and above may be too far away for you, but for now, you should first step into the first tier to truly become a member of the Awakened Ones."

"Remember, theory is ultimately insignificant in the face of strength."

"You're right, I will work hard and strive to reach the first level as soon as possible," Lin Mu said earnestly.

After Lin Mu left, Coach Chen sat alone at his desk, lost in thought for a long time.

He only snapped back to reality when a pair of calloused hands flashed before his eyes.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, he immediately stood up: "Principal Song, you've arrived!"

"I've been standing here for a while now." Principal Song sat down opposite him and waved for him to sit down as well.

"If you're not feeling well, take a day off. Health is the foundation of everything."

Coach Chen smiled and shook his head: "Principal, you didn't see that freshman just now."

"His theoretical knowledge was truly enlightening!"

"I even think that the theoretical academics in the capital city may not be as good as him."

"Oh?" Principal Song immediately became interested. "Tell me more about it?"

Twenty minutes later, Coach Chen sighed, "What a pity, this kid has been at level zero for six years..."

Principal Song's gaze instantly turned cold:

"Since his theory is so good, if he hasn't reached the first level by the time he graduates in three years, let's recommend him to go to the Holy Capital to study theory."

"That's where he can broaden his horizons; it might be the best outcome for him."

"No wonder the awakened ones from the outer city are scrambling to get into Jiangcheng Academy. It's mainly because of your great leadership, Principal! You just said you'd recommend them to the Holy Capital."

Coach Chen smiled and began to flatter him.

"Alright, stop with the act."

Principal Song feigned disdain, but his face lit up with a smile. He then added, "By the way, don't overload the children with poor talent with training."

"This is a lesson learned by other colleges at the cost of their lives; it would be terrible if it backfired."

After saying that, Principal Song got up and left.

Coach Chen stood up, watching his retreating figure, and replied, "I know, Principal."

……

One kilometer from the gate of Jiangnan University, a large shopping mall stands on the side of the street.

In the women's clothing section on the third floor of the mall, there is a shop full of dresses.

Lin Mu's lips twitched as he scanned the price tags on each piece of clothing.

After thinking about the balance on my card, I realized that I wasn't so poor that I couldn't even afford a set of clothes.

His gaze lingered on a red dress, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Sir, are you trying to surprise your loved one by buying her clothes?"

A female shop assistant in a suit skirt walked over quickly, smiling as she pointed to the red dress.

"You have excellent taste! This is a brand new arrival in the store, and the discount is amazing!"

"How much of a discount?" Lin Mu asked.

"After the 8.8% discount, it's only 2999!"

Lin Mu sighed silently in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Wrap it up."

"Get another set of black casual clothes... um, and two pairs of sneakers too."

"Sir, wouldn't you like to get your loved one a pair of high heels?" The sales clerk's eyes lit up, and she picked up a pair of silver-white high heels with red soles.

"This dress is so beautiful; it looks even better with high heels!"

Lin Mu frowned slightly: "Then a pair of sneakers and a pair of high heels."

The shop assistant's smile instantly brightened: "Okay! Will you be paying by card or cash?"

"Swipe the card." Lin Mu handed over the bank card directly.

Soon, the shop assistant returned quickly with four bags and handed the card back to Lin Mu.

"Sir, the total after the discount is 7996 yuan."

Lin Mu took the items and walked out of the mall, unable to help but sigh, "Girls' money is really easy to earn..."

……

In the Duanshe Tavern, only Gu Cang was sitting on the leather chair at the bar.

Lin Mu placed the key on the bar counter, and Gu Cang took it, looking at him with suspicion: "You last night..."

"It's something personal," Lin Mu interrupted him.

"Then what are you carrying in your hand?" Gu Cang exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes suddenly filled with unprecedented shock.

"What's wrong with the clothes you bought?" Lin Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Did you buy those high heels for yourself?" Gu Cang stared intently at one of the packaging bags.

"What?"

"It's marked on the bag!"

"If your eyes are damaged, go see a doctor."

After saying that, Lin Mu picked up the four bags and left without looking back.

After Lin Mu left, Gu Cang stubbed out his cigarette and lit another one, his expression extremely interesting:

"Holy crap... no way?"

"You, someone like you, can actually have such a surprising side?"

……

As soon as Lin Mu opened the door, two long, snow-white legs came into view.

Su Nianhe was lounging on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, her legs casually propped up on the edge of the coffee table, her toes dangling slightly.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Oh? I thought you wouldn't buy it."

Before she finished speaking, she pulled her legs back, gracefully sat cross-legged on the sofa, and her eyes lit up:

"Let me see it quickly."

Lin Mu walked up to her, gently tossed the four packaging bags onto the coffee table, and said calmly:

"Let's try it first. It can be exchanged or refunded."

Su Nianhe chuckled: "The head of Zhen'e Tingting personally bought clothes for the disaster."

"Pfft—it's funny to think about."

She slowly unwrapped the package, her fingertips brushing against the black clothing, then suddenly looked up and teased, "Your taste is pretty good. This black outfit isn't the same as yours, is it?"

"No, they're just the same color."

Lin Mu sat down on the single sofa next to her, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over her profile.

Su Nianhe seemed to sense his gaze, and suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling:

"Why are you staring at me like that? Have you fallen for me?"
