Jadewave Lake
Blue water, green mountains, and yellow rocks. A few scattered white birds swam slowly on the surface of the lake. A cool breeze blew over, and the light blue surface of the lake rippled, blurring the reflection of the mountains.
The boys followed the yellow rocks and quickly found a good spot to settle down. They started taking out tools and materials from their bags.
Garon looked at the girls. Felicity and a few other girls were standing under the shade of a tree. The dazzling beauty's white dress fluttered in the breeze, and her light blonde hair was tied to her left side. She looked like a princess in an opera. Her skin was white and translucent, as if it was glowing. Her eyes were cold and proud, like the purest sapphires.
Turning around, Garon looked at his own group. He, Kalidor, Fayne, and Jack were all people who didn't know how to dress up. Their clothes were a mess. Khaki, gray, white, and black. Plus, they didn't know how to match styles, and their clothes weren't of high quality. They looked like a ragtag army. Compared to the other side, they didn't look like much, but now the difference was obvious.
"That girl's name is Felicity. Fayne's friend invited her to come and relax. She looks so elegant … "Kalidor said in a low voice as he squatted down to set up a campfire.
"Tsk tsk … I've never seen anyone with such an aura even at school," Jack added in a low voice. "If I had a girlfriend like her, I'd be invincible."
"That guy is my cousin's friend. I don't know him either. You guys take it easy," Fayne added. "I didn't expect my cousin to drag her here. I only wanted her to come with her friend." He shrugged.
Garen smiled and squatted down as well. He began to tidy up the dirty firewood. Compared to the pure and clean Felicity, they were dealing with dirty stones and firewood. They looked like people from two completely different worlds.
"Want to play cards?" Kalidor came over from the side. The cards he was talking about were actually a game that ordinary kids liked to play when they were young. They used paper to fold into rectangular cards and put different numbers of holes on them. Then, they followed the same rules as playing cards.
Garen and Jack Fayne were intrigued when they saw him take out a pair of old, yellow cards. "Come on, what do you want to lose?" "One piece at a time."
The few of them squatted in a circle and started playing cards on a white stone. Soon, they were engrossed in the game.
Felicity stood under the shade of a tree and watched the boys play cards in the dirty mud and stones on the riverbank from afar. Although there was no discrimination in her gem-like eyes, she was unnaturally looking down on him from a higher level. She was from a different circle from the students of a town.
Originally, she was just passing by this city. Under the invitation of her classmate and good friend, she came out to relax.
A girl with short red hair walked over from the side and stood with her to watch the boys busying themselves. "Fayne," she said, "Fayne. The students here, they like barbecue barbecue barbecue. Are you interested? I'll ask them to add you later. "
"No, it's so dirty …" Felicity frowned. "I'm just here to relax. Let me be alone for a while."
Garon played cards with them for a while. He noticed that the group of people's eyes were unconsciously wandering towards the girls. He found it funny. His movements were very subtle. When he drew a card, he put another card on top of another one. He glanced at the other three, but none of them noticed.
He repeated this a few times. Suddenly, he threw the card in his hand. "Sorry, I won."
"Huh …?" The few of them were stunned. They all looked confused and surprised.
Garen had a smile on his face as he slowly tidied up the cards. Looking at the speechless faces of his three friends, he thought of the old Garon.
Before he had transmigrated, whenever Garen had an argument with his sister, he would always be beaten down by his sister in a few moves. He would be beaten up without being able to fight back. His sister, Ying Er, was strong in archery, martial arts, and sports. She was not as weak as she looked. Her punches hit flesh. Ever since his parents got married, he had been bullied by his two-year-old sister since he was three years old.
Garon had no confidence in playing cards or doing anything else. He did not know how to be flexible, so he always failed. He lost more and more confidence, and his spirit became weaker and weaker. One of the main reasons he took the initiative to train his body and practice fighting was because he could not beat his sister …
Garen's smiling face twitched uncontrollably as he recalled the time when he was beaten to tears by his younger sister in middle school before he went to high school.
"I was beaten to tears by my own sister when I was ten years old. How embarrassing … and I was crying alone in my room. No wonder the siblings are so distant … "Garon suddenly regretted transmigrating into this body …

"Bang!"
A black arrow flew from the bowstring and landed firmly on the bullseye of the target in the distance.
Ying Er, in her pure white archery uniform, slowly put down her longbow and exhaled. "My condition is still unstable …"
"It's already very good, at such a long distance." A blue-haired girl standing beside her said lightly, "If you can maintain this condition, I'll give you the position of Deputy Head of the Archery Department."
"Thank you for your support, senior!" Ying Er bowed her head respectfully.
Shengying Academy's student positions were different from those of other ordinary schools. Senior students even had the right to participate in the school's administrative affairs and had a certain amount of power over the school's major events. It was not just a normal student leader.
The blue-haired girl nodded and said, "Aside from this, I've already taken care of the incident where you beat someone up. Try not to do such things in the future. At least, don't injure yourself too badly. It's very troublesome to deal with. "
"Thank you very much, Head. I'll restrain myself …" Ying Er bowed her head and apologized again. She knew that the Head of the Archery Department had high expectations of her and had always helped her with trivial matters. She was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. That was why she had always felt guilty toward the Head. If it were not for the fight, she would have been promoted to Deputy Head of the Archery Department.
However, the reason why she beat someone up last time was also because …
The blue-haired girl heard the answer and nodded. She then left to instruct the other members.
Ying Er continued to practice alone. After a few minutes, a girl with short brown hair ran in and whispered a few words to her.
Ying Er's expression suddenly changed. "No matter how useless he is, he's still my brother! Whoever dares to touch him is not giving me face! Let's go! "She put down her longbow and rushed out of the training hall in her archery uniform. A few other girls followed her out. The scene was similar to that of a mafia boss.
The blue-haired girl not far away saw this and shook her head speechlessly. "How many times has it been … Is this girl a brother complex … She always gets angry whenever something like this happens … Xiao Ling, go and keep an eye on her. Ying Er is now the most promising candidate in our department to win a prize in the competition. Don't let her beat someone up too badly, or else it will affect her qualification for the competition."
A petite red-haired girl beside her nodded and ran out of the training hall without saying a word.
The rest of the members were used to this and just practiced as usual. Only some of them shook their heads and laughed. In front of the elders in the family, she was obedient and sensible, but in front of strangers, she was violent and terrifying. Ying Er's personality was well known by the elders in the department.

The sky was clear and light blue, with only wisps of clouds hanging on the edge.
Garon sat on a white rock and slowly turned a skewer of lean meat in his hand. The spicy and numbing smell slowly spread out from the fire. The golden barbecue had many small bubbles on its surface.
He put the barbecue on the rack and looked at the others. They were busy sprinkling spices on their barbecued meat and had no time to pay attention to him. He got up and walked to the lake behind him. He squatted down and used both hands to wash his face, washing away the smoke on his face.
The cold lake water splashed on his face and stimulated his spirit.
Turning his head, he saw that the girls had already walked far away. They stood on a riverbank and gathered together. They spread out a clean white cloth and placed all kinds of food and drink ingredients on it.
He let out a breath. "In the blink of an eye, so many days have passed since I transmigrated …" He looked at the attributes at the bottom of his vision.
His Dexterity and Constitution had both increased by 0.01, which was the result of his training these days. His Potential was still at 89%.
"I still need 11% to see if Fayne's jewelry has any effect. If it doesn't, I have to find another way … Jewelry with Potential is too rare. I wonder where the black pearl that the etiquette teacher took out the other day came from. It could absorb all the Potential in one go. "
A gust of cold wind blew. Garon felt a chill on his back. He got up and walked back to the campfire.
"Follow the river on the right and you'll see the paper mill in the suburbs. My uncle works there. Do you want to visit? "Kalidor pointed at the river on the right of the lake.
"What's there to visit in a paper mill …" Fayne was about to say something when a scream came from afar. The girls seemed to have encountered something frightening. The scream came from afar.
They quickly stood up and looked into the distance. Two of the three girls had fallen to the ground and kept shrinking back. The other girl ran to the side, not daring to get close to the two. Felicity was also one of the girls who fell.
"Something's wrong. Let's go check it out!" Garon was the first to react. The other boys quickly dropped the barbecue and rushed over.
On the dark yellow riverbank, between the gravel, a small black and purple snake raised its head high, constantly flicking its red forked tongue and hissing. Two girls fell to the ground and shrank back in fear. One of them had a dark red wound on her calf.
