In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 138 Is it going to grow four lungs?

The sun was very strong today, and the shrill sound of cicadas was annoying.

Students on the roadside were clutching their sickeningly sweet milkshakes, looking down at their phones; some were wearing shorts, others were wearing two thin ropes.

The white man's body odor increased exponentially. Li Xiao glanced at the passersby around him, and unfortunately, no friction occurred.

It looks like I'll have to spend more time in places like the restrooms, basketball court, and library where conflicts are likely to break out, Li Xiao thought to himself.

Arriving at the lockers in the corridor, Li Xiao found his own locker according to the number, turned the key to open the door, and found that the white paint was bulging and the door was crumbling with metal slag. In the corners inside, there were still crumbs of biscuits left by the previous owner, covered in mold.

Li Xiao pressed down on the cabinet, causing a jolt of bio-force. The rust and cookie crumbs instantly turned to dust. After shaking the cabinet to make sure it was clean, he put the clothes Corinna had bought inside.

"Come on, girl, let's have some fun together!" At the end of the corridor, two fair-skinned students wearing baseball caps were pulling and tugging at a girl wearing glasses.

It looked like they were forcibly dragging people into a party. Li Xiao raised an eyebrow; he was just looking for trouble, and this was a perfect opportunity right in front of him.

Li Xiao paced forward, but the girl seemed to give in and made a "yes" gesture.

He then unzipped his jeans to their astonishment, revealing a large object in front of them.

"Don't eat the pickled radish, eat my urine instead!"

"Ugh! You filthy bitch!"

"Wang Defa! You freak!"

The two people fled in a panic, as if stung by wasps, with urine dripping from their hair.

Li Xiao's mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and it was quite something that he actually invited Da Kunmei out. If he hadn't observed carefully, Li Xiao would have had a hard time noticing anything amiss with this person.

America's most outstanding achievement is probably gender reassignment surgery, but Li Xiao has a feeling that the success of such an operation is due to the proliferation of various drastic measures, and these haphazardly combined medications often have strong side effects.

"Hey man, if it's you, I don't mind playing around with you." Da Kun girl shook her hair and, seeing Li Xiao who was in a daze, couldn't help but wink at him.

Li Xiao shuddered violently. Out of sight, out of mind, the transformed student curled her lip and walked away with an alluring air.

Good morning, Li Xiao.

Li Xiao felt a gentle tap on his shoulder and turned around. Neos, carrying an oversized backpack, smiled slightly behind him, exuding youthful energy like a girl next door.

Good morning, Onis.

[Homer the Wolf is unleashing immortal psychic power. Current life energy is being enhanced. Child of Krypton, your lifespan is exceeding its limit.]

[Lifespan is increasing, 1s 2s ————]

A familiar feeling of exhilaration surged through his body once again, and it seemed as if tiny specks of light appeared in the air and entered Li Xiao's pores.

Neos seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden light. Li Xiao blinked, the illusion disappeared, and the Greek girl with wheat-colored skin was still in front of him.

"What's going on on the ground? Did someone urinate or defecate on the ground?" Onis wrinkled his nose slightly and waved his hand in disgust.

"More or less," Li Xiao shrugged and explained the situation in detail, which O'Neill immediately understood.

"I see. This kind of thing happens quite often in Kent," Neos said casually, opening his closet. "They often throw parties, but the female companions they bring might be the wrong gender. Most people just accept it, but some can't stand it and start fighting. You'll see when I invite you later."

"Have you participated before?" Yuan asked. Li Xiao felt it was presumptuous of him to ask that question.

"How could that be?" Neos frowned, annoyed. "I wouldn't dare to mess around with people like that. If I catch a disease, my life will be ruined. Besides, I don't want to have a baby so early."

That's true. Given the chaos in the West, it's impossible to know how many viruses the people involved are carrying. If someone gets infected, the exorbitant medical costs alone would be prohibitive. However, for many people who don't live past 40, AIDS is not a big deal.

"I brought you something delicious today," Neos said, unpacking her oversized backpack and mysteriously pulling out a glass jar.

Li Xiao took it and saw that it contained pickled emerald green olives.

Li Xiao casually twisted open the lid and popped one into his mouth.

With each gentle chew, the savory juice bursts in your mouth, accompanied by the refreshing sensation of fresh fruit that lingers on your tongue.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Neos asked expectantly.

"Hmm, very good." Li Xiao nodded. This stuff goes quite well with porridge, and of course, it's also good to eat on its own.

[Nyos the Immortal, son of Krypton, shares with you the traditional delicacy from Hallow Terra, Corpse Starch]

Li Xiao's expression changed. Corpse starch was no good. If he hadn't known the system was up to something, Li Xiao would have almost thrown up.

The starch from corpses processed by the psionic detoxification machine has a good strengthening effect on organs; currently, lung function has improved by 15%.

"Is it going to grow four lungs?" Li Xiao wondered in disbelief. He then took a deep breath, and a tiny, almost imperceptible vortex of air formed in front of his lips. A large amount of oxygen was precisely filtered into his lungs, providing more energy to his cells.

I estimate that I could hold my breath for twenty minutes straight without feeling suffocated.

Currently, it's only enhanced by 15%. If the enhancement were maxed out, it could probably stay in a vacuum environment for a very long time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao chewed another olive, but this time the system's voice did not sound.

It seems that the same food only works the first time. Li Xiao was quite satisfied. He had a good relationship with Neos, so it was no problem for him to eat and drink for free.

"What classes are we supposed to have today?" Li Xiao wondered as he watched Neos take a hard hat out of his backpack and put it in the closet. "Don't tell me we have to go to a construction site to work as laborers later?"

"Yes"

Li Xiao almost doubted that he had heard correctly. There was indeed an engineering major in the course, but he thought it was just attending classes. He figured he would be a construction engineer even if he made a living from it, so he never expected that he would have to do hands-on training as a construction worker. This was just too ridiculous.

This is hardly a university. Even vocational colleges in China only arrange internships after graduation.

How can someone work as a laborer while still in school?

"Don't be so discouraged," Neos smiled, carefully arranging the gloves. "The money earned at the construction site is split 50/50 with the school. Many students rely on earning a little to make up for their tuition."

Well, Li Xiao had no choice but to accept the fact that he really had to be a bricklayer. If he were a weakling, he would naturally be very resistant, but now he had enough strength to be perfectly capable of the job.

This school really knows how to get students to work.

"You don't seem to mind at all," Li Xiao joked.

"There's nothing I can do but accept it," Neos sighed helplessly. "I was already dark-skinned, and now I'll probably get even darker."

Nios took sunscreen out of her bag and stuffed it into her pocket; she looked quite dashing in her cargo pants.
