Chapter 38: He won't choose you, a weakling like you
Su Nian was immersed in her own thoughts when she was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise not far away. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw two tall and domineering classmates standing under a large tree with lush branches and leaves, surrounded by a group of classmates. The scene was very lively. These two domineering classmates, one was called Zhang Kuang and the other was called Zhang Meng, they were brothers.
Zhang Kuang folded his hands in front of his chest and boasted with an arrogant look on his face: "Even in this Xingyao Mountain, I, Zhang Kuang, can find treasures with my eyes closed! Follow me, and I guarantee you will have delicious food and drinks! Mutated animals, radioactive plants, they are all a piece of cake in front of me!" His voice was high and arrogant, as if the whole world was under his control.
Classmate A next to him quickly agreed with a smile on his face: "That's right, Brother Zhang Kuang, you are so capable, and Xingyao Mountain is like your own backyard to you! Under your leadership, this assignment will definitely be easily completed, and we are all waiting to benefit from your help!" His eyes were full of flattery and fawning.
Classmate B was not to be outdone and quickly replied, "That's right, Brother Zhang Kuang, you are our backbone! With you here, those babies will come to us obediently."
Zhang Meng raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Humph, my brother is right! Those mutant animals and radioactive plants have to give way to me, Zhang Meng! I can beat them to a pulp with just one punch!"
Classmate C nodded quickly: "Brother Zhang Meng, your might is unmatched! With you and Brother Zhang Kuang together, we can run rampant in Xingyao Mountain!"
Everyone was talking at once, flattering the two brothers loudly, as if they were omnipotent heroes.
Su Nian looked at this scene and couldn't help but frowned, feeling very disdainful of this kind of flattery. She turned her head and continued to observe the classmates around her, trying to find a suitable teammate. At this time, she saw Zhao Yan also hesitating, frowning, and seemed to be worried about forming a team. Indeed, everyone wanted to find a strong classmate to form a team. After all, this mission was not easy. With strong teammates, the guarantee of completing the mission would be greatly increased.
At this moment, Ye Yao walked over with a proud step and said to Su Nian in a condescending manner: "Su Nian, team up with me."
Su Nian raised his head, glanced at Ye Yao, frowned, and refused without hesitation: "I don't want to team up with you, I want to team up with Zhao Yan."
Ye Yao sneered and said sarcastically: "Look at Zhao Yan walking around there. He is looking for teammates with strong abilities. He will not choose a weakling like you!"
When Zhao Yan heard this, he immediately strode over and said seriously, "I don't think so, Su Nian, I am willing to team up with you."
Ye Yao's face darkened, and she glared at Zhao Yan fiercely, then looked at Su Nian and said, "Humph, even if Zhao Yan is willing, what good will it bring to you to team up with him? I have an energy vehicle that can take you directly to Xingyao Mountain, how convenient. And there is no limit on the number of people in the team this time. The three of us together will be more powerful. Su Nian, you better think it through."
Su Nian's eyes rolled, and she secretly calculated in her heart: Ye Yao's energy vehicle can indeed save a lot of time and energy, and one more person means more strength. So she said, "You can team up with me, but I have to pay more."
Ye Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, as long as you can help, money is not a problem!"
Su Nian immediately stated a price, but she was actually a little nervous. She thought Ye Yao would hesitate or bargain, but she agreed without even thinking about it.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Ye Yao said.
Su Nian was secretly happy in her heart. Not only could she successfully complete the task, but she could also make a small profit. Zhao Yan, on the side, watched Su Nian and Ye Yao reach an agreement with a complicated expression on his face. He thought to himself that he didn't know how many twists and turns there would be along the way, but since he had already made the decision, he could only go all out.
Afterwards, the three of them briefly discussed the departure time and preparations, and then dispersed to prepare for the upcoming trip to Xingyao Mountain.
