'Why her again? Is this woman following me?' Li Cheng颐 thought, feeling a vague sense of unease.

It wasn't fear, exactly, nor discomfort, but rather a strange sensation.

Zhuang Yijing glanced at him from afar with gentle eyes, the late autumn wind of the night causing her skirt to flutter slightly.

Coupled with her attractive appearance, dignified and generous demeanor, and scholarly air, her flowing hair should have completed a beautiful scene.

But combined with the inexplicable malice he had just sensed, Li Cheng颐 now felt a strong sense of contrast.

'Interesting.'

He pondered how to eliminate this malice. To be able to suppress inner desires without revealing them outwardly, Zhuang Yijing must possess a will that was among the strongest he had ever encountered.

Such a strong person was the perfect material for fertilizer!

He was considering how to absorb this type of malice, since lust was the first he had encountered.

Zhuang Yijing walked up to him, a hint of doubt and concern on her face.

Outside the crowd, Yuan Lai looked at his back, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing that there were few people around, she didn't speak.

"The key is that the weakening injections make you feel very happy… very good! And ordinary people can only buy one injection at most, because they're worried about accidents, so the authorities are very careful about selling them. So, to be able to buy eight injections, you either have to be from a military academy, or have very strong connections and resources." Min Langwei added another blow.

"Isn't it a small amount? Are all military students weak? If you could get a weakening injection, maybe you could do it too," Zhuang Yijing said with a smile, not taking it to heart. She didn't appreciate Zhao Sikai's character and lifestyle, even though she was her best friend.

On the way back, they ran into Zhuang Yijing, Li Qingpeng, and others who had come to see what was happening.

Although he was pale and thin, he was usually very interested in and knowledgeable about combat, boxing, and weapons equipment.

"Peng-ge," Chen Xudong patted Zhuang Yijing on the shoulder, "An apartment in the provincial capital costs about eight million on average."

"Heh, what's the use of saying all that? No matter how good you are at fighting, can you beat a gun these days?" Zhuang Yijing's face darkened slightly, and she said in a low voice.

Everyone instantly calculated the approximate amount in their heads and gasped.

840,000 for one injection!?

After everyone had seen enough of the novelty, they went back.

"The cheapest weakening injection… is sold on the market, but you have to pre-order it," Chen Xudong said quietly, "One costs 840,000…"

"There's nothing to see, let's go back and continue singing!" Zhao Funing sighed and called everyone back.

The others vaguely felt that Li Cheng颐 was different at this time, but they didn't know how.

"Everyone is an adult, and a member of society. These days, when conflicts arise, what matters is connections, family ties, background, and resources. If you're really stupid enough to fight someone face-to-face, then you can just wait to go to jail." He added.

He watched Li Cheng颐 go back to the lawn chair and sit down to rest.

"Jingjing, what happened over there? It was so loud just now?" Yuan Lai immediately asked.

As the saying goes, you're more interested in what you lack. They were both like that.

"Li Cheng颐's family can afford them, so they shouldn't be expensive. I'll go back and see if there are any channels to buy one for everyone to try. I'll host the next gathering as a benefit for those who came this time, so don't miss it," Zhuang Yijing said generously.

Modern people are like that. They're usually tired from life, and when they finally encounter something new, they like to gossip.

Besides him and Li Cheng颐, there were seven people present...

Zhao Sikai was a typical green tea, and an old one at that, who had toyed with the feelings of many girls.

The thing she liked to do most was to conquer those who seemed strong, and then, when they were completely devoted to her and about to enter the marriage hall, she would suddenly kick them away.

The entire lawn was a mess, like the surface of a barren planet hit by a meteorite.

"By the way, we've talked so much about weakening injections, what exactly are they? Are they very good for people?" Li Qingpeng asked with interest. She didn't understand that at all.

"Ordinary people only absorb half of the weakening injection. Military students work hard to exercise and can reach 40%. You can't do it," Chen Xudong shook his head.

Zhao Funing felt it the most. Because he was the closest to Li Cheng颐 and knew him the best, he saw the changes in his buddy getting bigger and bigger.

Of all the gossip, they were most interested in the affairs of the people around them. According to a word that girls like to use to describe it -- green tea.

There was no one by the creek at this time.

Although what he said did ease the situation, he was able to yield and apologize immediately.

"So, Li Cheng颐 and his sister are very good at fighting?" Li Qingpeng asked curiously. She didn't understand that at all.

The others didn't speak, but they all seemed to be very interested in gossip. According to a term that girls like to use -- green tea.

All such drugs have something in common, and that is that they require a lot of training to digest and enhance the absorption of the drug.

Min Langwei, who had been smiling just now, instantly froze.

Zhao Sikai's nickname was Jingjing.

"Hey, Li Cheng颐, what was that noise over there? Why did it sound like someone was yelling?" Min Langwei asked.

Li Cheng颐 couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Hearing his parents stammering and trying to cover up the truth about their siblings fighting, he didn't expose them.

"I've been to visit them, and the traces they left when they were training were not as exaggerated as this place."

Although Zhuang Yijing's words were harsh, they made sense.

"I've seen the power of top military students. They must take and inject weakening agents, otherwise they won't be able to keep up with the performance assessment. The better the weakening injection, the easier it is to absorb, the better the effect, and the smaller the side effects.

The originally whole piece of green space had completely lost its beauty. Counting carefully, there were at least seventy or eighty potholes.

Just as he was thinking about things, he suddenly saw Zhuang Yijing looking at him under the dim moonlight, a strange smile hidden in her eyes.

"Why can't I do it? Isn't it just spending money to get injections? Wouldn't it be better to get more?" Zhuang Yijing was a little dissatisfied at being told that she couldn't do it in front of several girls.

What she really wanted to say was… just now, her best friend Zhao Sikai had asked her for Min Lang颐's phone number.

And just now, Li Cheng颐's sister had taken at least eight injections, which would be over a million!??

The first thing that came into view was potholes all over the ground.

In addition to the other groups of tourists who had come to see the excitement, Li Cheng颐's parents had already taken Li Chengsi to rest.

Because the strong do not need pity and protection.

"Looking at Min Lang颐's appearance just now, could it be that the siblings had a fight?" Zhuang Yijing guessed with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement, because that's how modern society really was. The national army was the strongest violent organization. No matter how strong you were, you could be blown away by a bullet.

And Zhuang Yijing said she would buy one for each person as a benefit...

"I don't know, maybe a child is crying?" Li Cheng颐 replied casually. "Excuse me for a moment."

"Are you kidding me? Was this caused by people fighting?" Chen Xudong, who had never been very present, was the first to speak out.

But the previous image had collapsed a lot.

Min Langwei didn't speak this time.

Especially her view on love.

Quiet.

He nodded slightly to her, turned, and walked toward the outskirts of the farm.

How much money would that cost??

His explanation gave the others some understanding of the situation.

"Um… I didn't see anything," Zhao Sikai shook her head, "When I got there, it was already over. It seemed like Li Cheng颐's sister was injured, maybe she twisted her ankle and fell. I saw it was swollen and red."

Soon, the group arrived at the creek.

He nodded to the others and brushed past them from the side.

"…" Min Langwei remained silent, her face becoming even more unsightly.

The group continued toward the creek, and before they arrived, they met Zhao Sikai, who was walking back quickly.

Her words were naturally directed at Li Cheng颐's parents.

"Yeah, can we buy some to strengthen our bodies? I feel like I'm sitting all day, and my lumbar disc will herniate sooner or later," Zhao Funing said with a smile.

On the parents' side, they had to comfort the sister who had been beaten and cried, because they were all children in the family, and adults would always favor the weaker one.

Among this group, his resources, connections, and background were the strongest, so what he said re-established his position in everyone's hearts.

"Really? Li Cheng颐's sister was a top military student! Would she twist her ankle so easily?" Zhao Funing said in disbelief.

"Uncle and Auntie, may I ask if something happened over there just now? I heard a loud noise, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh, I guess they spent all their money on their children's development. It would be better to buy a few houses with that money. I was wrong just now. I didn't expect the weakening injections to be so expensive. I made a fool of myself, everyone, don't mind it," Zhuang Yijing quickly put on an embarrassed expression.

That woman, she had probably seen it just now, but now she was acting like she didn't know anything.

Li Cheng颐's sister was a military student, but Li Cheng颐 himself was not...

"Then I don't know. That's how it was when I went over there," Zhao Sikai said blankly.

The two had more in common in their studies and love of reading, but many of their views were opposite.

"Looking at these marks, they should have been kicked out. You can see the imprints of the back half of the soles of the shoes here, and the soil and grass have been trampled together and flattened. This kind of power is very strong! At least eight weakening injections have been taken."

But now it was too late to say anything, Yuan Lai decided to call or send a message to Min Lang颐 to remind her. After all, one was her childhood friend and the other was her best friend, so it was best not to let certain things happen.

Seeing the situation on the lawn, he immediately thought about what kind of strength it would take to beat the ground like this.

The girls, including him, had lost their previous goodwill. After all, the previous appearance was too embarrassing.

"Yes, very good at fighting," Chen Xudong said seriously. He walked to the edge of a shallow footprint and squatted down to touch it.

Her expression was extremely natural, her expression blank, as if she was just guessing like them, and didn't know anything.

"If their family has money, why do they still live in an old house and not move out?" Li Qingpeng's question quickly saved him from the cold winter.

"The number of injections a person can take is limited. Because the body will develop adaptability, the more you take, the worse the effect will be. It's like people who eat chili peppers, the more they eat, the more they can handle it. It's the same principle. Because for them, the feeling of spiciness is actually weakening all the time, only by constantly adding more spice can they continue to feel it," Min Langwei explained seriously.

He was a professional enthusiast.

He had often encountered this kind of situation in his previous life. This was the first time he and his sister had switched places.

But most military students don't have much money, so they will choose the worst or the average ones.

And since their siblings were fighting so fiercely, had Li Cheng颐 also taken the injections?
