In Zhongzhou, there are also two major forces: Tianji Tower and Tong Shen Hall.
Tong Shen Hall is the organization that developed the tongshen jade talisman, and they quickly rose to prominence by relying on this product.
Tong Shen Hall also has another name, Tong Shen Chamber of Commerce, which shows that its biggest characteristic is its wealth.
An Chen summarized that this Tong Shen Hall is like a mobile phone seller, but it has formed a monopoly on the Kyushu Continent.
As for Tianji Tower, Su Xiaojiu didn't say much; she only said that the people in Tianji Tower were very good at fortune-telling.
This statement also left An Chen bewildered.
Tianji Tower... is for fortune-telling?
After asking all this, the sky was already faintly lit, and An Chen glanced at his watch, quickly got up, and changed into his school uniform.
It was time to go to school.
"Are you tired?"
Faced with this question, Su Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding why An Chen asked that.
"A little..."
She hadn't slept all night, and before that, she had been chased by mountain bandits, so Su Xiaojiu was indeed a bit tired now.
"Go to my room, get a good night's sleep, and don't run around before I come back!"
An Chen suddenly realized that he had said the same thing last night, but Su Xiaojiu didn't seem to have listened to him...
"Alright, if you absolutely must go out, use that Talisman of yours that can make you invisible. You can walk around, but don't do anything extra, and don't let anyone realize your existence, understand?"
"Mm-hmm!"
An Chen had already taken a step back, so Su Xiaojiu naturally had no reason to refuse, nodding repeatedly.
An Chen left home as usual, walked to the breakfast stall downstairs, took a stack of change from his backpack, placed it on the outermost table, held it down with a tissue box, and then carried away the two "piles" of breakfast on the table.
An Chen actually didn't understand why, despite the huge commotion last night, the Head Teacher in the school's day student group still issued a notice for normal classes today.
Was it true that even if the sky fell, classes still had to go on as usual?
An Chen carried the breakfast, crossed the street, entered the school gate, and walked all the way to the door of his class's classroom.
Normally, students who rushed from the dormitory and hadn't started morning reading yet would excitedly wait at the classroom door for the breakfast An Chen brought.
It was much better than what the school cafeteria made.
But today, there was no one at the classroom door.
An Chen, slightly puzzled, walked into the class with the breakfast.
Only after An Chen walked into the class did students who had bought breakfast come over one after another to pick up their share.
After distributing the breakfast, An Chen sat back down in his seat, munching on the one-yuan, two-piece white steamed bun.
Ye Xinning was already in the classroom. She was still quietly studying at her desk, seemingly working on an English test now.
In fact, her English was almost the best in the class, only slightly weaker than An Chen's, but she needed to maintain her test-taking feel and active thinking through continuous practice.
Compared to Ye Xinning's quietness, all other areas in the classroom seemed exceptionally noisy.
"Did you hear? About what happened last night..."
"With such a loud noise, who couldn't hear it!"
"I thought someone was setting off firecrackers, but it turned out to be a gunfight! Too bad I didn't see it..."
"Ma Ge from the next class brought his phone, I heard there's an original video online!"
"Really?"
An Chen pricked up his ears and listened, realizing that without exception, all these people were talking about what happened last night.
"Brother Chen, you're the only day student in our class. What exactly happened last night? Do you know?"
Sun He ran over to An Chen, asking mysteriously.
"I heard that some superpower user committed a robbery and assault on the street, attracting the SWAT and Martial Police, and finally, a fierce gunfight broke out. Is that true?"
"...Pretty much. I was right there watching at the time."
That Hanzi (Man), in the eyes of ordinary people, was no different from a superpower user. Committing assault on the street... perhaps it could be considered. A fierce gunfight couldn't really be counted, after all, only one side had a gun...
"Then... then did you see what that superpower user looked like?! What abilities did he have!"
Sun He's eyes were shining.
Sun He's voice was a bit too loud, so much so that half the class turned their attention over.
"Hmm..."
An Chen stroked his chin, deliberating for a moment before speaking:
"That person was burly, looked about two meters tall, and his body was like a wall. As for his superpower..."
An Chen gestured.
"He knows the Vajra Talisman and Iron Cloth Shirt."
Describing the Vajra Talisman like that should be fine, right?"
"Oh—"
"He can also leap three meters high."
"Oh—"
Unconsciously, An Chen was surrounded by people.
Everyone wanted to know about the so-called "superpower user."
Nancheng Second Middle School implemented closed management, and mobile phones were prohibited in school, but there were still a few people who secretly brought them in.
Everything they knew was spread by those few people, but the further it spread, the less reliable the truth naturally became.
However, An Chen, as an "eyewitness," certainly knew the most and the most accurate information.
Actually, An Chen hadn't considered hiding what happened last night. He was a cautious person and deeply understood that the more you say, the more flaws there are.
However, since he had already been taken away by the police for a statement, hiding it now would seem too deliberate.
Although no one was investigating him for the time being, An Chen still habitually tried to make everything consistent and leave no flaws.
Moreover, the surveillance camera that Su Xiaojiu burned might arouse suspicion. No, as long as someone observes carefully, they will definitely find out!
"Cough, cough!"
Just as a group of students surrounded An Chen, asking this and that, the Head Teacher's figure appeared at the classroom door at some point.
He let out two dry coughs, and everyone, like startled birds, scrambled back to their seats.
The Head Teacher pushed up his glasses, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone, and finally let out a heavy sigh.
"Students, you are still at the age for studying. Don't pay too much attention to things unrelated to your studies, and don't believe everything you hear. Less time on those messy things online!"
"It's not messy stuff at all, it really happened! Such a big commotion yesterday, it's like no one heard it!"
Sun He muttered from his seat.
He usually couldn't stand the Head Teacher's uninspired nonsense, wishing he could retort every sentence the Head Teacher said.
But this time, he didn't control his volume very well, so much so that not only An Chen in the front row heard his muttering, but even the Head Teacher on the podium heard these rebellious words.
In an instant, the Head Teacher's gaze changed instantly.
An Chen swallowed.
Was the Head Teacher going to use that move again... the Death Stare?
