NOVEL WEB Chapter 85 Threats? Where do you get the confidence to threaten me?_1
Fast! Incredibly fast! Even the quickest of men weren't this fast! Su Yan's battle had ended far too quickly, resolved within a mere two minutes. Such speed! It was astounding!
Amidst the cheers and shouts of the crowd, Su Yan walked down from the Martial Arts Platform with an unfazed expression. He then headed straight for the logistics area.
It was clearly stated in the rules of the Valedictorian Competition: The winner could go to the logistics area to claim an Advanced Level HP Pill for recovery between matches.
An Advanced Level HP Pill, huh! The name alone sounds top-notch! I wonder how much more potent this is compared to an Ordinary HP Pill.
As he thought this, Su Yan quickened his stride, almost leaving afterimages behind.
Soon, Su Yan arrived at the logistics area. At first glance, it appeared empty. Oh, wait—there was a pretty young lady sitting at the front desk, intensely scrolling through Douyin. Every now and then, she would let out laughter like a hyena, quite piercing to the ears.
With that in mind, Su Yan walked towards the young lady.
Hearing footsteps, the young lady slightly lifted her head to look ahead. But this glance was a big deal; her expression instantly darkened.
Damn it! It's the ultimate 'steel straight man'!
Thinking this, the young lady immediately became furiously embarrassed and said, "Straight man, you've got the nerve to come here!"
The young lady's voice was a bit shrill, somewhat grating. But after all, she was a delicate young lady, not some brash middle-aged woman. No matter how sharp her voice was, it always carried a tinge of softness.
Under the young lady's glare, Su Yan didn't take it seriously and, quite uncharacteristically, even offered a slight smile as he said, "Miss, we meet again. I've just finished the first round of the Valedictorian Competition. I'm here to collect an Advanced Level HP Pill..."
To smoothly collect the Advanced Level HP Pill, Su Yan had to compromise a bit. He tried to make his 'steel straight man' attribute a little more flexible, a little softer, not so unyieldingly hard as steel and straight as a rod. He always managed to make the front desk young lady boil with rage, bringing her to the verge of erupting like a volcano, and then he would have to endure another round of her scolding.
But truth be told, Su Yan calling her "Miss" was quite effective. It worked like a charm, instantly pacifying the young lady and diffusing much of her anger.
He called me 'Miss'... My youth is over...
Thinking this, the young lady looked at Su Yan and huffed, "Hmph, consider yourself sensible!"
Then her tone softened a bit as she said, "Hand over your admission card; I need to verify your information."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Miss."
After saying that, Su Yan skillfully took out his admission card from his pocket and passed it to the young lady.
The young lady was a bit of a tsundere. Though her anger had mostly abated, she still didn't give Su Yan a pleasant look. When she took the admission card, she snatched it away quite roughly. She looked fierce, more ferocious than a mother hen protecting her chicks.
BEEP!
A single beep sounded as the young lady placed the admission card on the device next to her. Quickly, the candidate's information appeared on the display screen in front of her.
Name: Su Yan
School: Luo City Number One High School
Valedictorian Competition: 1/6 matches
Results: Qualified for Top 32
Advanced Level HP Pill Claimed: 0
The young lady glanced at the display. After confirming the match information was correct, she skillfully took out a small wooden box from the drawer. Then, with slightly excessive force, she slammed it onto the desk and pushed it towards Su Yan.
At the same time, she coldly admonished, "It's the same old rule: the Advanced Level HP Pill can only be consumed, not privately retained or sold. Violators will have their Valedictorian Competition results immediately canceled."
"Understood. Thanks for the reminder," Su Yan said, taking the small wooden box. Without another word, he turned and left.
Watching Su Yan's retreating figure, the front desk young lady couldn't help but mutter, "It's been less than three minutes since the first round of the competition started, and he's done already? This student is rather extraordinary..."
After leaving the logistics area, Su Yan found a random spot to sit down. He took out the small wooden box from his pocket and eagerly opened it.
Immediately, a dark red pill, surrounded by wisps of medicinal aura, came into view.
Compared to an Ordinary HP Pill, the medicinal aura of this Advanced Level HP Pill looked denser, its volume was larger, and its color was deeper.
As expected of an Advanced Level HP Pill; it looks incredibly potent.
Thinking this, Su Yan reached out and picked up the Advanced Level HP Pill from the small wooden box.
Then, an item information prompt quickly popped up.
[Advanced Level HP Pill]: A medicine condensed from Evolved Creature's Essence Blood, which can rapidly restore the HP consumed within a living body.
So, it's upgraded from 'coagulated' to 'concentrated,' and from 'swift' to 'extremely rapid.' Good stuff! Truly a high-quality item!
Thinking this, Su Yan immediately used the System to Devour the Advanced Level HP Pill in his hand.
[Swallowing Successful]
[HP +2+3+3...]
[HP Recovery Speed +7+7+7...]
After devouring it, Su Yan composed himself and focused on the changes in his body.
Hmm... My blood circulation is faster, but I'm not sure if it's a temporary or permanent effect.
At the same time, his skin appeared somewhat more translucent, with a ruddier, healthy complexion, making him look exceptionally vigorous.
Su Yan was quite pleased with this.
The effect is not bad. If I can keep winning, I can claim four more.
