Developing Superpowers in Another World

Chapter 246 – Die Together with Xi Chunzhi

 

DarknessPleaseCloseYourEyes: Agreed!

LordAHua: So what if you’re intermediate? Is that impressive? In the training camp, weren’t you all just people trampled under the big boss’ feet?

Zhou Ming suddenly realized that he didn’t need to personally step in to curse; with Tu Ran’s name, many people rushed to defend her.

This was the difference between a big boss and an ordinary person.

Zhou Ming felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

The comments section continued to be filled with insults.

Unconcerned: Are you all willing to offend every intermediate and advanced pioneer for one Tu Ran?

“He’s provoking a fight! He wants all the intermediate and advanced pioneers to go after Tu Ran,” Qi Tongda pointed out the crux of the matter.

IAmSecondGeneration: If all the intermediate and advanced pioneers are garbage like you, then so be it. But I believe that the senior students in the intermediate and advanced levels are outstanding, not just in ability, but also in character—except for you.

LordAHua: I feel ashamed to have scum like you among the intermediate and advanced pioneers.

“It seems everyone isn’t foolish and won’t be led around by the nose,” Xiao Miao thought, feeling relieved.

Unconcerned: I can’t be bothered to argue with a bunch of second-generation pioneers who have never been inside the Threshold. Let me tell you, anyone who can survive in the Threshold and score as high as I have is a hundred or a thousand times better than someone who only flaunts themselves in the training camp!

LordAHua: Didn’t you say you couldn’t be bothered to argue with us? Why are you going on and on now? Can’t you suppress your desire to show off?

DarknessPleaseCloseYour Eyes: I’ve seen many people like you. Oh, by the way, just to add something, I’m also an intermediate pioneer. (Learning from @Unconcerned’s style)

HandsomeGuyWhereAreYou: Hahaha, I love the way you guys talk! Let’s get to know each other sometime, @DarknessPleaseCloseYourEyes @IAmSecondGeneration @LordAHua.

IAmSecondGeneration: Sure! Private chat!

LordAHua: @IAmTu Ran, why aren’t you speaking? I want to hear the voice of a big boss.

Zhou Ming: “……”

He regretted accepting this task from Tu Ran. It wasn’t nearly as satisfying as cursing with his own account, and he was constantly being hit by the influence of Tu Ran.

IAmTu Ran: What happened to the other people who were cursing the most before? Why aren’t they showing up? Hiding like turtles? Look at how courageous @Unconcerned and @BeautifulToePicker are; I’m looking forward to your replies.

LifeIsEarned: Tu Ran, you’re just as arrogant as Xi Chunzhi now. Xi Chunzhi is already dead; I want to see when you’re going to die!

As soon as this comment appeared, the section fell silent.

Xiao Miao, Zhou Ming, and Young Master Qi all gasped.

Although the previous few people had also been insulting Tu Ran, they hadn’t hit any sensitive points. This person had directly stepped on Tu Ran’s sore spot.

Noticing their reactions, Tu Ran stood up and walked over.

Upon reading “I want to see when you’re going to die!” she smiled.

It was a chilling smile.

Zhou Ming was so scared that he quickly stood up and hid behind Qi Tongda.

The seat was already vacated, and Tu Ran sat down.

IAmTu Ran: @LifeIsEarned, your life truly is “earned.” It’s not the “earn” from hard work; it’s the “assemble” from piecing things together.

In the back, Qiangzi, who was watching the fight: …Wow, even cultured people insult others with style.

LifeIsEarned: Heh, if you have the guts, crawl through the internet cable and come find me.

He thought he was hiding well. In this war of words, apart from revealing his malice towards Tu Ran and Xi Chunzhi, he hadn’t disclosed any information that could prove his identity. He believed Tu Ran wouldn’t be able to find out who he was.

He never imagined that the entire webpage in front of him was open to Tu Ran; his personal information had already been sent to her without any omissions.

IAmTuRan: I’m looking forward to it.

After taking his account offline, Tu Ran returned to her workstation to continue discussing issues with Qiu Jian.

Zhou Ming logged back onto his account to continue arguing with the remaining people.

Xiao Miao and Qi Tongda had no interest in watching his verbal battle with others and returned to their positions.

There were no task arrangements for that afternoon.

*

Tu Ran left work punctually at eight o’clock.

By eight-thirty, she had already arrived at the IP address of “LifeIsEarned.”

Standing under the hundred-meter-high building, Tu Ran looked up at the sky.

Her gaze landed on a dimly lit floor.

Wei Renji returned from his section at seven in the evening. He was responsible for cleaning up the genetic monsters in the Federation Center. After working for 24 hours straight, he was especially exhausted and lay in bed to sleep after washing up.

Before sleeping, he couldn’t help but open the official website of the Pioneer Team.

The usually tranquil official site was bustling today due to a verbal conflict.

Behind the rolling obituary in the upper right corner, there were 3,115 comments.

When he clicked in, he saw many dialogue boxes with his name: LifeIsEarned.

Some people were cursing him for overestimating himself, some were @ing him to express admiration, and others were discussing whether he had a private grudge against Tu Ran.

Regardless of whether he was being cursed or praised, seeing his name alongside the renowned figure of Tu Ran in the Pioneer Team filled him with uncontrollable excitement.

In the darkness, he fixated on the only source of light. Each time he spotted his ID in the black dialogue box, he would chuckle to himself.

His laughter echoed continuously in the room, washing away his fatigue.

Suddenly, he saw an unfamiliar ID pose a question.

“Did you all notice the last thing Tu Ran said?”

I’m looking forward to it.

“I’m looking forward to it…” Wei Renji murmured, recalling the chill that had surged from his feet when he first saw those words.

That inexplicable chill had left him unsettled all afternoon.

“Is Tu Ran trying to take revenge on LifeIsEarned?”

“Aren’t our IDs completely private? How could she possibly trace back to who it was?”

Wei Renji nodded at the screen. Yes, she was just an ordinary pioneer; there was no way she could find out who he was.

There was absolutely no way she could trace him.

She must have said that to scare him.

“Wei, Ren, Ji.”

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang from outside the door. Wei Renji’s heart skipped a beat, and he froze on the bed, his body under the blanket going cold from head to toe in an instant.

He was in his bedroom.

The voice came from the living room.

Someone had stealthily pried open his bedroom door and entered his living room.

It had to be Tu Ran; she had found him!

The next second, the door to his bedroom was kicked open from the outside.

A beam of light accurately shone on his face.

Facing the light, Wei Renji couldn’t see the other person’s appearance.

Whether he could see clearly or not didn’t matter anymore; he already knew who it was.

His voice trembled, “Tu… Tu Ran, how did you get into my home?”

His hand silently reached under the pillow.

“I used the best smart lock in the Federation,” he said to himself.

He felt the handgun he habitually hid beneath the pillow.

Tu Ran noticed his little movement.

She did not act first.

She wanted to see what Wei Renji was capable of, daring to say such arrogant words.
