Chapter 13: Thirteen, top of the list Chapter 13: Thirteen, top of the list “Great! Two out of three rounds, and the doctor won,” Yang Junjun clapped her hands happily and walked over to Song Yan Ning, giving her a thumbs-up, “Xiao Ning, you were amazing. From now on, you’re my idol, I’m following you.”
“And us,” Liu Yunyi and the others also walked over to Song Yan Ning with smiles. Song Yan Ning had shown them her strength. The Samurai’s combat power was the strongest in the Primary System. Usually, when they saw him, they would have to walk around him, but they had never imagined that Song Yan Ning could defeat the Samurai so easily. It really seemed incredible to them.
“Captain, I’m a Black Hat. I hope for your guidance in the future,” Black Hat said with a smile, extending his hand towards Song Yan Ning. Following her could be quite interesting, and he was looking forward to the future.
Song Yan Ning reached out and shook hands with Black Hat, “I’m a Doctor.”
“You know Medical Skills?” Black Hat raised an eyebrow. No wonder she knew acupoints.
“A little,” Song Yan Ning smiled.
Black Hat grinned. From the fact that she could target acupoints, it was clear she was far from knowing just a little about Medical Skills.
“Captain, I’m a Samurai. Let me introduce my friends; this is Panda, Black Panther, and Bambi,” the big guy brought his group over to introduce them to Song Yan Ning. She had managed to beat him and Black Hat, which evidenced her powerful strength. He was completely convinced by his loss to her. But whether she could be their captain would depend on her future performance. However, in his heart, apart from that almost divine figure, Black Hat was the one he respected the most.
“Hello, Captain!” Everyone greeted Song Yan Ning in unison.
“Hello!” Song Yan Ning nodded with a smile to everyone and then turned to Yang Junjun and the others, “Wait for me here, I’m going to take them to pick White Origin Fruit.” Since they had acknowledged her as their captain, it was natural for her to help them complete their tasks.
Anyone who could enter this system was no ordinary person; they were of great use to her. To earn their sincere and delighted allegiance, strength alone was insufficient. She also needed to let them see the benefits of following her.
She had no idea when the Seal within her could be lifted, or when she would be able to leave Earth. But no matter where she was, she had to make herself strong. Only with strength would she not be bullied or looked down upon.
“No need, Captain, it’s getting late today. Let’s go together for the tasks tomorrow evening,” Black Hat spoke up. Now, with less than an hour left to complete the task, they wouldn’t have enough time to pick White Origin Fruit. However, he was more interested in learning about her.
“We still have many Merit Points; it’s okay if we can’t complete this task,” the big guy chimed in.
“Alright then,” Song Yan Ning nodded and didn’t insist, “Let’s go complete the tasks first.” After leaving this system, she had to accompany her grandfather to gather herbal medicine on the mountain. She couldn’t afford to delay.
“We’ll go with you to the Task Hall,” Black Hat followed Song Yan Ning.
“Mm,” Song Yan Ning nodded.
“Captain, are you from Yang City?” Black Hat asked. He was eager to meet the real her, only unsure if she was in the same city as him.
“Mm,” Song Yan Ning nodded again.
A delighted smile spread across Black Hat’s face, “I’m also from Yang City. I’m in the fourth grade at East District Experimental Primary School. What about you?” East District Experimental Primary School was a highly regarded school, and children who went there usually came from well-off families.
“I won’t start school until September,” Song Yan Ning replied. What a coincidence that Black Hat was going to the same school as her. Her grandfather had a good relationship with the principal of East District Experimental Primary School.
Both her grandparents were doctors who had saved many people in Yang City over the years. In Beijing, they were also people of status, but they preferred the natural beauty of Beiyan Town and chose to stay there. If it weren’t for her grandparents’ prestigious medical skills, a significant family like the Song Family wouldn’t have married their daughter into it.
“Which school are you planning to attend?” Black Hat asked Song Yan Ning.
“I’ll probably go to East District Experimental Primary School too,” Song Yan Ning smiled.
“That’s great! Look for me when you start school. My name is Ling Yu,” Ling Yu said excitedly. He was quite a character in East District Experimental Primary School, but he believed that based on Song Yan Ning’s capabilities, her prominence there would not be less than his. He eagerly anticipated the day they would meet in real life.
“Alright,” Song Yan Ning nodded.
Walking into the Task Hall, Song Yan Ning and her group approached the service counter to complete their tasks.
“Hello, we are here to complete a task,” Liu Yiyun, who was originally the group’s captain, took out the task card and White Origin Fruits and handed them to the staff member.
The staff member took the Jade Token, scanned it on the machine, and then returned it to Liu Yiyun.
As Liu Yiyun retrieved the Jade Token, their group’s name, their Merit Points, and their rankings appeared on the screen in the Task Hall.
Seeing Song Yan Ning’s Merit Points were just a small amount, Ling Yu and his group were stunned. She didn’t have any Merit Points before?
Seeing Ling Yu and the others looking at her, Song Yan Ning smiled, “I knew I would win.” She still had that much confidence in herself. If she had indeed lost, she could have given them the Merit Points after collecting them.
Ling Yu and the others were speechless.
“Look! Wuji is still number one on the Yellow List,” Yang Junjun pointed to the display in front of them. The Task Hall published the system’s rankings every day.
The system’s rankings were divided into Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow Lists. They, being in the Basic and Intermediate levels, were on the Yellow List. But even with Basic and Intermediate levels totaling several thousand people, being first among them clearly showed just how formidable the opponent was.
“Wuji is so amazing!” Liu Yiyun said admiringly. Wuji had always been his idol.
“Wuji is from Beijing as well, rumored to be the Crown Prince of Beijing’s foremost family, the Qin Family. But I’ve never seen him; he keeps a very low profile,” Zhou Jiyou stated. Being from Beijing himself, he naturally knew a bit about Wuji, who was also from Beijing.
“I really want to meet him,” Yang Junjun said, full of anticipation.
“Mm,” everyone nodded, silently encouraging themselves to work hard and quickly reach the Intermediate level. They just didn’t know if Wuji would still be in the Intermediate System by the time they got there. Wuji’s strength was indeed exceptional.
Song Yan Ning curved her lips into a smirk. The Crown Prince of the Qin Family, wasn’t he the little brat who had come to see her when she was born? She hadn’t expected him to be in the system, too. But, it wasn’t surprising at all that he was here; after all, the Qin Family was not just any ordinary family.
