Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2400 - 2240: Superpowered Girl
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Gazing up at the moon.
All of a sudden.
A sudden thought crossed Qin Yugang's mind, leading him to call out:
"Tangtang."
"Hmm?"
"Will it be possible to sleep just one hour in the future at this rate?" That would truly be amazing, advancing to where sleep isn't required anymore.
Then... would that even qualify as human?
Upon hearing this.
Tang Qing shook his head.
"No."
"Three hours should be the limit for your body. Strong mental focus demands a lot of energy. You can tell from how much you eat; it won't drop any lower."
After all.
Your body remains that of an ordinary person, not some machine that runs endlessly on fuel alone. Unless you, like me, pursue cultivation and grow stronger.
Otherwise.
It's bound to follow the natural rules of the body.
"True."
Qin Yugang didn't pursue the topic further.
Three hours.
That's already a huge benefit, and a substantial one at that. Looking back on his three months in the position, everything at work had gone surprisingly smoothly, and his colleagues were exceptionally welcoming.
Initially.
He figured it was all thanks to Tang Qing's influence.
Eventually.
He came to see it wasn't completely that. During some dinners, they introduced young prospects, clearly aiming to connect with his daughter.
Suddenly.
Everything felt off to him.
The meals.
The drinks.
Lost their flavor, and he turned them down courteously, no matter their status or origins. Under no circumstances would he exchange his daughter for any gain.
Craving wealth.
Craving authority.
He sought neither. As a dad, he naturally fretted over his daughter's future, yet he strongly opposed arranging matches for her.
Furthermore.
Those individuals came with clear motives right from the beginning, which repelled him.
Prospects?
Hah!
Qin Yugang scoffed inwardly, viewing them as sly operators, probably seasoned by life's twists and turns; in any case, he held none in high regard.
Yet.
"Sigh!"
Irritated.
He couldn't fathom which two awful guys his daughters might end up with.
...
Time.
Quickly reached the close of June.
Qingyan City.
At Yantang University, the grounds buzzed with exam tension. Folks didn't have to crowd the library for silence or escape the heat with AC.
No need.
Every dorm came equipped with cooling units, and they stayed quiet.
Students buckled down, prepping intensely for tests.
After all.
Grades equaled points equaled rewards.
Many pushed hard to secure funds for a lavish summer break, dreaming of trips far and wide.
Of course.
A few didn't lack cash.
Still.
Performance counted for much, thanks to the vibe. In this place, kids from affluent homes didn't stand out much to the average student.
So what?
Wealthy?
Can you match Tang Qing?
No?
Then no grounds for showing off. Typically, on campus, the rich blend in with regular folks. You've got the newest phone.
I've got one as well.
You've got the top laptop.
Mine matches it.
You jet off on vacations, and my earnings let me do the same. You finish school with a home and ride ready? With effort, we snag those too, free from basic worries.
Thus.
If you try to brag.
No one puts up with it.
Before.
A handful of local rich heirs rolled up in flashy cars at Yantang University's gates. Their aims were obvious, but in under three days.
They vanished.
On this matter.
Speculation flew around, with the most credible tale being that the elders backing them got a stern word from the Tang Family to control their offspring.
Following that.
No more luxury rides appeared near the entrance.
...
Morning.
Girls' dorm building.
In Qin Shiqi's room, a cluster huddled by a table. Alongside the usual three dormmates, Tang Nian’er and Qin Shiyu joined too, since the space was spacious enough.
Cramming as a group.
On the table.
Xu Xiaohong would sneak peeks at Qin Shiyu and Tang Nian’er now and then, thinking to herself: What perfect lineage this family has, every girl boasting stunning beauty.
Pure and natural, like a lotus blooming in pristine waters, untouched by pretense.
One word.
Stunning!
This was their fresh-faced state, without a hint of lip color. After nearly two years sharing the dorm, Xu Xiaohong never caught Qin Shiqi using any beauty aids.
Sheet masks.
Cleansers.
Lotions.
...
All she witnessed was a simple towel soaked in warm water for a quick rinse. It sparked such jealousy that even she, starting to fret over her own complexion.
Felt inwardly disturbed.
One time.
During a campus occasion, spotting Qin Shiqi in traditional garb with flawless makeup. Right away, as a fellow female, her heart skipped a beat.
Like a character emerging from an artwork.
Since that moment,
The name Qin Shiqi turned into a campus icon for countless Yantang pupils. Glancing at Qin Shiyu and Tang Nian’er's natural charm, should they add makeup.
It'd spark yet another uproar.
To be honest.
Jealousy.
Besides.
Their backgrounds appeared far from ordinary. As a dormmate, she wasn't totally clueless about Qin Shiqi, knowing only that her dad held a government post.
In another region, level unspecified.
Beyond that.
She remained in the dark.
As for Tang Nian’er, details stayed vague. After all, they didn't share the dorm, and prying into her father's identity or family business felt rude.
All the same.
The household clearly had plenty of funds.
...
Suddenly.
Melody echoed throughout the grounds.
Glancing at the clock.
Xu Xiaohong rose, grinned and remarked, "I'll be going now, catch you soon." With her other roommate—Liu Qing—she headed out for the tests.
Owing to varying fields of study.
Test schedules differed.
In a flash.
Just four remained in the room.
"Shiqi, Shiyu, Nian’er, check it out, your brother's topping the news feeds once more." Feng Xiuxiu waggled her phone, beaming, being a devoted admirer of Tang Qing.
"Oh?"
Qin Shiqi glanced over; it concerned the district again.
This instance.
It involved Rong City. Unavoidable, given the spotlight, daily updates on Tang Qing soared to trending spots thanks to clicks from his female followers alone.
Incredibly!
Even so.
This shot was, like always, strikingly good-looking.
"Your brother puts in such effort; this makes the fourth, with two left." Feng Xiuxiu noted with pity, not only her, the whole fan circle shared the sentiment.
"..."
Qin Shiqi gave an eye roll.
Truthfully.
Let's face facts! Strangers had no clue, but she knew her brother's boundless vigor. Skip this; even a full marathon.
He'd handle it with ease.
What's more.
Not only Tang Qing; if she took a jog, she'd complete it barely winded. She once gauged her endurance on the estate's track, finding it remarkably solid.
Afterward.
The three siblings started picking up basic self-defense techniques.
These days.
They could handle three to five burly guys without trouble, though they kept it hidden from others, following the seniors' counsel to conceal some ability.
That approach.
In key situations, it might allow them to catch foes off guard for a real edge.
On this.
The trio of girls eagerly agreed, since nobody wished to be seen as a super-powered female. Despite their boosted prowess reaching this level, facing their big brother, they were utterly outmatched.
Devastating!
Yet it ignited their drive to compete.
They refused to accept it.
Three on one, still zero chance.
Hence.
Besides routine conditioning, they incorporated steady practice in fighting arts, which the grown-ups backed completely, guaranteeing safety in actual scraps.
