I Attained Invincibility In The Real World

Chapter 37: Mandarin Oranges and True Identity

Translator: 549690339

In the afternoon,

Chen Sheng walked in with herbs in his left hand and some health products in his right hand.

A few days ago, Xu Ziwen had given him quite a few things, and Chen Sheng had been thinking of returning the favor.

As it happened, he passed a pharmacy today and thought that since Xu Ziwen had classes during the day, remedial lessons in the afternoon, and still had to visit graves at night, he bought some health products for Xu Ziwen to nourish her body.

Walking, Chen Sheng called up his panel.

After this afternoon’s training, his attributes had grown once again.

Strength increased by 0.12

Agility increased by 0.6

Physical Attribute increased the most, a full 0.24

Chen Sheng estimated that to break through An Jin, he needed to reach a Strength and Constitution of 3.

At this rate, he would be able to smoothly break through An Jin in at most two days.

With these thoughts in mind,

Chen Sheng’s mood suddenly improved quite a bit.

Arriving at the entrance of his home,

he was about to give Xu Ziwen the health products when he saw a basket of fruit at the entrance.

Chen Sheng went over to investigate.

It was a basket of mandarin oranges with a bit of mud on the skin, looking very fresh.

There was also a note in the basket.

[Brother Chen, I saw that you were not home, so I left the oranges at the entrance.]

[I picked these today during a farming activity organized by the school. They are very sweet, so I wanted to share them with you.] A smiley face was drawn underneath the message.

The signature was from Xu Ziwen.

Chen Sheng scratched his head.

This Teacher Xu really is…

During his work, he had seen too many indifferent people.

People like Xu Ziwen were really rare.

But since she had sent them, Chen Sheng couldn’t refuse.

He looked at Xu Ziwen’s wooden house.

She didn’t seem to be at home, probably not back from school yet.

Just as Chen Sheng was about to go home and visit her later in the evening,

He suddenly pricked up his ears.

A faint sound came from inside Xu Ziwen’s house.

The sound was very slight.

If it weren’t for Chen Sheng’s high Agility Attribute, he might not have heard it.

Could Xu Ziwen be at home?

Looking at the closed door, Chen Sheng showed a hint of doubt.

He brought the health products to the door of the wooden house.

Knock knock.

“Teacher Xu, are you home?” “I bought you some things.” No response.

Chen Sheng listened carefully. This time, he didn’t hear any sound.

“Could it be a mouse?”

Chen Sheng muttered.

With that thought, he knocked on the door a few more times.

After confirming that no one was home, Chen Sheng could only return to his own house first.

Bang!

Taking off his weighted gear, Chen Sheng instantly felt a wave of relaxation.

He picked up an orange and began to peel it.

Tossing a segment into his mouth, he gently bit it. The sweet juice immediately splashed in his mouth.

“It really is sweet.”

In just five minutes, Chen Sheng had peeled three oranges.

Afterwards, he took out a bag of herbs, threw them into the pot, and took a shower to be ready for a nap shortly after. The sun gradually set, and the sky grew darker.

When Chen Sheng woke up to the sound of a phone ringing, the room was pitch black.

Turning on the light, Chen Sheng got out of bed and walked towards the kitchen.

One hour later,

Having cleaned up dinner, Chen Sheng put on his weighted gear again.

Now, when he trained without weight, he always felt something was off.

It wasn’t until he felt the familiar heavy sensation on his body that Chen Sheng nodded in satisfaction. Arriving at the balcony,

just as he was about to begin practicing, Chen Sheng caught a glimpse of a figure slowly walking over from a small path.

It was none other than Xu Ziwen carrying two bags of oranges.

At that moment, she also noticed him. “Teacher Xu, working so late today?”

Chen Sheng greeted her enthusiastically.

“Couldn’t be helped, the school had an event tonight, and it only ended just now.”

Xu Ziwen said listlessly.

As he walked, his figure swayed slightly, looking extremely tired. “Well, Teacher Xu, you should rest early. I won’t bother you then.”

Seeing that she seemed a bit tired, Chen Sheng didn’t mention the health products and decided to give them to her the next day.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Sheng was about to look away when he suddenly recalled the noise he had heard in the wooden house that afternoon.

For some reason, he had a feeling that something was wrong.

“Teacher Xu, today—”

Chen Sheng looked back at Xu Ziwen and wanted him to wait for a moment.

But just then, there was a thump.

Xu Ziwen suddenly fell in front of the wooden house, the mandarin oranges in his hands scattering all over the ground.

“Teacher Xu, are you alright?!”

Startled, Chen Sheng quickly shouted across the distance.

But Xu Ziwen didn’t respond. Seeing this,

Chen Sheng hurried down the stairs.

To the front of the wooden house.

Xu Ziwen’s eyes were slightly closed, his face pale, and his chest was heaving up and down.

Chen Sheng didn’t know much about medicine, so seeing this situation, he took out his phone to call an ambulance.

But Xu Ziwen stopped him with a raised hand.

“No… can’t call an ambulance.”

He grabbed Chen Sheng’s wrist with a pleading tone in his voice.

“I… finished the chocolate, do you have any more…?”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng was taken aback.

Chocolate?

Could it be hypoglycemia?

Just as Chen Sheng was puzzled, he saw Xu Ziwen shakily take out his phone. He showed the screen to Chen Sheng.

On it was just one word. Run!

Chen Sheng’s pupils contracted.

As he opened his mouth, about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

Chen Sheng cast a discreet glance into the wooden house, as if he had noticed something.

Instead of running away as Xu Ziwen had suggested, he picked up Xu Ziwen and quickly ran towards his own home.

Soon, they arrived on the third floor.

“Get me water… and chocolate.”

As soon as they reached the living room, Xu Ziwen on his back spoke again.

He seemed genuinely weak, not pretending.

Chen Sheng didn’t ask any further.

He put Xu Ziwen down on the sofa, and after handing him the chocolate, immediately went to fetch hot water.

When Chen Sheng returned with the hot water,

Xu Ziwen had already devoured more than half of a 24-piece box of chocolate.

Xu Ziwen gulped down a large swallow of hot water and continued to shove chocolate into his mouth like a starving wolf.

“Whew—”

Only after swallowing the chocolate quickly did Xu Ziwen let out a long breath and lie back down on the sofa.

“Sorry to have alarmed you, Brother Chen.”

“This is a family illness of ours, hard to say what it’s specifically called.”

“I’ve had poor digestion since I was a child, and most of what I eat is difficult to convert into energy.”

“So, I’ve been relying on drinking Qi and Blood soup medicine or eating high-protein, high-calorie things to replenish my energy.”

“It might be that I used too much strength during today’s activities and didn’t replenish in time.”

Xu Ziwen explained his abnormality to Chen Sheng with an apologetic smile on his face.

He didn’t mention what had happened just now, seemingly not wanting to discuss it with Chen Sheng.

However ,

Chen Sheng didn’t reply.

He just sat on the sofa next to him, his eyes fixed on the mobile phone screen.

His fingers kept swiping. Seeing this,

Xu Ziwen’s smile slowly faded.

“Brother Chen, I never intended to involve you.”

He tensed his body, as if ready to snatch Chen Sheng’s phone at any moment.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t call the police.”

“I know you meant no harm to me, otherwise you would have let me run just now.”

As for this,

Chen Sheng seemed to have expected it all. “Can I ask, who is the person hiding in your room?”

“Teacher Xu…no, I should call you…”

“Shen Ziming, right?”

Chen Sheng aimed his phone at Shen Ziming.

Displayed on the screen was an arrest warrant, with a face bearing a resemblance to Xu Ziwen.

[Shen Ziming, caused the death of seven people and seriously injured many others in a bar fight, extremely vicious, currently on the run]

[The general public is encouraged to report any sightings, and not to confront the fugitive]
