In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Ding!

The alarm clock rang precisely at seven o'clock. Li Xiao got out of bed, pulled the wad of paper out of his nostrils, and even though he was strong and healthy, he couldn't help but feel deeply tired after dragging the corpse.

Normally, after doing strenuous physical exercise, one's legs and arms would ache the next day, but Li Xiao found that he felt no discomfort and was still full of energy.

Try to see how many burpees you can do. This is a sport that requires a lot of physical strength. Li Xiao used to get very tired after doing a maximum of 30.

With that thought, he braced himself on the ground with his hands, rose on his toes, and easily jumped up, clapping his hands together to complete a push-up. He then held his breath and did 50 push-ups in one go before stopping. His body only felt slightly warm, and even his breathing was not disordered.

Li Xiao let out a long breath and walked to the bedside. Constantine was still fast asleep. He pulled down his pants and saw that the wound had scabbed over and his breathing had become steady.

Last night he developed a high fever, and his hot breath almost set the blanket on fire. Moreover, Americans generally have body odor, and the burning, foul smell almost made Li Xiao faint.

Just as Li Xiao was about to help him pull up his pants, he looked up and met Constantine's wide eyes.

"Dude, how did I end up in your bed? Did you sleep with me?"

"What?" Li Xiao frowned. "Did you break your head?"

"Okay, sleeping with me isn't out of the question, but remember to pay me. It's my first time sleeping with a man, so extra money is needed!"

Li Xiao's temples throbbed, and he grabbed him and slapped him on his wound.

Constantine immediately let out a scream.

After Li Xiao's explanation, Constantine finally understood what had happened and tossed over a wad of US dollars. Li Xiao said, "I earned a total of 7600 last night, here's your 3800, count it."

Constantine's eyes lit up, and he took the banknote, kissing it repeatedly. "The smell of money is so captivating. You saved my life, buddy, I trust you enough. Thank you."

"How do you plan to spend this money?"

Li Xiao tossed him a pickled chicken foot; he'd almost forgotten about it since it was in his backpack.

Constantine's eyes lit up after tasting it, and he scoffed as he tore at it. "Let's buy a few packs of cigarettes first. I've had enough of being a stray dog ​​out there. I'll use the rest to have some fun. I've been wanting to go to a strip club for a while now. How about it? Interested in coming with me?"

"Aren't you planning to keep it for emergencies? What if your dad kicks you out of the house again?" Li Xiao was speechless. Knowing his nature, he definitely wouldn't be able to control himself if he had a craving for cigarettes.

"Please don't say things like that, and why would you want to save money? Prices in America change every day, who would keep money in their hands?"

Constantine looked surprised, seemingly not understanding Li Xiao's idea at all.

Ok

Li Xiao dismissed the idea. This guy was a complete spendthrift. In fact, people here don't like to save money, which means that in case of an emergency, they might not even be able to come up with a few hundred dollars.

I currently have $4440, which is $15560 short of tuition fees.

"Looks like you two pulled off a big deal behind my back."

Kara appeared at the door at some point, dressed in a neat set of work clothes, looking quite capable. If she were to run around in her underwear today, it would be a real treat for Constantin.

Holding a chicken foot in his mouth, Constantin approached Kara and extended his hand familiarly. "It's nice to meet you, Cousin Kara. I'm Constantin, a good friend of Li Xiao. We're like brothers, you know."

"John's brat, got beaten up by your dad and's hiding here with me?" Kara snorted and walked straight up to Li Xiao. "Fine, you brought back a homeless guy behind my back without a word. Tell me, how much did you make?"

Kara sounded annoyed. She had woken up early in the morning to the sound of chattering upstairs, and when she came up, she saw the two kids happily dividing up their loot.

"7600," Li Xiao didn't hide anything, "This time it was my initiative to suggest making money to pay for tuition."

"Hmph, what a diligent student working hard to support themselves," Kara clapped her hands, her expression full of sarcasm. "The moment I walked in the door, I smelled that dead smell. You two went to sell corpses, didn't you? And there's the smell of rotten mud, did you go down the sewers?"

No, is your nose that sensitive?

Li Xiao's eyes widened. He had washed himself so thoroughly that there wasn't a trace of odor, yet the person could still smell it.

"Don't you dare go to that godforsaken place!" Kara said, hands on her hips, poking Li Xiao's shoulder with her finger. "You'll take any job you want? Didn't I tell you to tone it down on the first day? Did you unleash your inner demons in America? There are all sorts of grotesque things in the sewers. Don't you know some of those corpses are pre-ordered? Do you want to have a gun pointed at your head like yesterday? Huh?!"

The torrential rain and wind left his face sticky with saliva.

"I don't care about anything else, but him—" Kara grabbed Constantine by the collar, sending him stumbling, "I don't want to see this kid still in my house when I come back, you hear me? They're all fucking troublesome, and the rent's going up next month! This is your punishment!"

Kara slammed the door shut, and a moment later the roar of a pickup truck came from downstairs.

"I'll be going now. I'm really sorry you had to get scolded; I owe you a huge favor."

Constantine gave Li Xiao a sympathetic look and quietly left.

Li Xiao wiped the saliva off his face, but his heart remained unmoved.

Walking to the window and looking through the glass, I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind on the ground was swirling up plastic bags.

As a city with abundant rainfall, Seattle's weather is unpredictable. One moment it's sunny and clear outside, and the next it looks like it could rain at any moment.

Li Xiao put the US dollars into his wallet, and his fingers inadvertently pulled out a card. It was a gym membership card that Kara had given him, which he could use to test his physical fitness.

With that in mind, he grabbed an umbrella, put the towel and clothes into a plastic bag, stuffed it into his pocket, and went out.

The gym was located at the end of the street next door. It started raining halfway there. Li Xiao opened his umbrella and looked around. Almost all the passersby were braving the rain as if nothing was wrong, which made him look like an oddity.

Li Xiao walked to the gym entrance and folded his umbrella. A BMW i8 screeched to a halt in front of him, and a woman got out of the car. She was wearing black high heels, had a fragrant shawl over her shoulders, and was dressed like a fashionable beauty.

Li Xiao glanced at it in confusion. Why would someone drive a car like that and come to this small gym to exercise?

Normally, people who can afford this car already have a gym and swimming pool at home, so there's absolutely no need for them to come here to exercise.

However, he didn't think too much about it; it's not surprising that some wealthy people like fried noodles from roadside stalls.

The woman walked quickly, carrying the delicate scent of tulips as she passed by Li Xiao, then suddenly paused.

Li Xiao raised his head slightly and met the woman's golden eyes.

The woman glanced at him, then stomped away in her high heels, leaving a lingering fragrance.

[Child of Krypton, you've encountered a half-blooded succubus]

[No tasks detected yet]

Is this woman a succubus? Li Xiao shook his head and went inside. A female clerk at the front desk was idly scrolling through her phone.

"Please check how much balance is left in my card."

As Li Xiao spoke, he pulled down his hood, revealing that he was training too well with the hood on.

"Sir, you have $50 left on your card, valid for ten days. Would you like to top it up? Oh!"

"unnecessary"

Why are you so startled? Li Xiao stared at the female clerk, who was covering her mouth, her eyes overflowing with emotion.

Li Xiao immediately understood. It seemed that American women didn't reject yellow skin; they were just looking at the model.

After a pleasant conversation with the female clerk, Li Xiao successfully topped up his card with $20 for $200. Not only that, he also received two cans of Red Bull, and all he got in return was a compliment that her blushing face looked pretty.
