Starting with the flesh-based stimulant

Ga Gouwa, wearing a clean black top hat, stood in front of Zhou He, his small face gleaming with a pair of dark eyes.

Zhou He gently patted his hat with a touch of pity, but unable to resist Ga Gouwa's gaze, he finished the bowl of noodles on the table.

"Let's go, come with me to Jincheng University."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll go and put the hat away."

Ga Gouwa carefully took off his hat, patted off non-existent dust, and Zhou He reached out to stop him:

"Take it with you, take it with you."

After saying that, the two went out the door and headed straight for Jincheng University.

Passing by the square where I had fought with Grandpa Taochuan, there were naturally fewer people than at the Sugar and Wine Fair.

But as Zhou He walked, breakfast vendors, clothing stall owners, and tricycle drivers waiting for customers crowded in front of him.

It seems that Yongqiang's death did not have any negative impact on the walking flesh in Jincheng.

"Therefore, this world doesn't need old men."

Zhou He muttered to himself.

Whether they are fellow villagers or native-born elders, they all think of themselves as shepherds who graze and raise these walking meats.

But in reality, the world doesn't actually need these shepherds.

The large crater created by the previous battle still lay there, unnoticed by most people.

In just a few days, people have already gotten used to the existence of this pit.

It's as if it's always been here.

After crossing the square and walking some distance, the two stood at the entrance of Jincheng University. The guards at the entrance recognized Zhou He and did not stop him.

Upon entering the school, some early-rising students cast strange glances at Zhou He, who was dressed in tattered school uniform, and at Ga Gouwazi, who was wearing worn-out clothes but with a clean top hat.

Two young students dressed in brightly colored shirts even stood to the side, pointing and whispering at Zhou He:

"What are these guards at the gate doing? How come just anyone can get into the school?"

"Is it perhaps meat being delivered to that strange meat research institute?"

"You know what, that meat research institute looks weird, but that senior student there is really something! Those long legs..."

As they talked, the topic of conversation veered off course.

"Junior, it's not good to talk badly about people behind their backs."

An angry voice rang out behind them.

It was none other than Jiang Qi, who looked tall and handsome but actually had "Always Love" tattooed on his chest.

And the woman holding his hand was none other than Yao Yao, a short-haired, cold-faced, beautiful and charming woman.

Behind them, Chen Hai and Meng Qiyu, who were always by their side, looked a bit out of favor.

Yao Yao broke free from Jiang Qi's hand and ran towards Zhou He:

"Senior Brother Zhou, where have you been lately...? You said last time that something big was going to happen in Jincheng, is that related to you?"

Her rapid-fire questions left Zhou He unsure which to reply to first, so he simply patted the little dog's head and chuckled:

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

Yao Yao reached out and called to Jiang Qi, who was threatening the two students who were spouting nonsense. She then led Zhou and the other two to a clean pavilion to sit down.

"Senior, you..."

As soon as she sat down, Yao Yao was about to ask the same question she had asked earlier, but her eyes were involuntarily drawn to the hideous scars on Zhou He's face. After a moment of hesitation, she cautiously asked:

"Senior brother, your face..."

Zhou He reached out and touched it, finding that the scab had peeled off a bit, and said with a smile:

"I accidentally offended someone I shouldn't have, and I got hurt, but it's not serious."

Seeing Yao Yao standing close to Zhou He, Jiang Qi felt a pang of jealousy and stepped between them:

"I've already said it, we researchers don't go out and learn the ropes, why should we compete with those people in those fields? They're all crazy!"

"Jiang Qi, don't talk nonsense!"

Yao Yao stopped Jiang Qi and then turned her inquiring gaze to Zhou He's face.

Zhou He knew in his heart that Yao Yao was only curious about him.

This little girl has a similar level of curiosity to me; she's full of the desire to explore things she doesn't understand.

As for Jiang Qi's jealousy, it was completely unfounded.

To put it bluntly, for a girl with such a cold demeanor, the fact that Yao Yao was willing to hold his hand meant that she had already given him her whole heart.

Unable to resist smiling again, Zhou He slowly began to speak:

"It's a long story. I've come to you today because I need your help with something."

"Go ahead, senior."

"Well, I'm not very familiar with the ways of Jincheng, but I've seen some guys in the newspapers... Do you know where they're published and what the conditions are?"

Zhou He had no intention of dragging these college students into that dangerous situation.

But Ga Gouwa was just a homeless beggar on the street, and Yongqiang certainly hadn't told him anything like that.

If I wanted to find a helper in Jincheng, I could only ask these few people.

After hearing his question, Yao Yao pinched her cheek and pondered for a moment before replying:

"Well, I do know where the Jincheng Newspaper Office is, but ever since..."

She paused, looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, and then whispered:

"Ever since you guys did that big thing, the Jincheng Newspaper seems to have changed hands. I haven't seen GG lately."

Zhou He listened and secretly admired him.

This girl is really smart.

From the very beginning, when I warned them that something would happen to Jincheng, she must have suspected that it was related to me.

Earlier in the square, so many people seemed unaffected, but she was the only one who probably already knew what had happened.

Either she is exceptionally intelligent, or her background is not simple.

Zhou He believes that it should be a combination of both.

Maybe he's the kind of person of status the peddler was talking about.

As for his feeling that she was smart, it was because Yao Yao had been constantly testing him from the very beginning of their meeting.

Even though I didn't reveal any useful information, the other party has already guessed that the incident at the Sugar and Wine Fair is related to me.

Hearing the certainty in her tone, Zhou He didn't explain anything and continued to smile:

"If I want to find some capable people to help with some tasks, do you know where I can go?"

Yao Yao frowned slightly, but it didn't take long before she turned to Jiang Qi:

"Jiang Qi, I remember your house..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Zhou He knew that she was saying it to him.

He then turned to Jiang Qi and said with a smile:

"Junior Jiang, could you please introduce me to this matter?"

Jiang Qi seemed a little confused, unable to extract any useful information from Zhou He and Yao Yao's cryptic conversation.

"Huh? Me?"
