Su Ran's eyes moved slightly.
Su Ran opened his eyes; he was awake.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but this sleep was quite comfortable.
"Whoosh!"
He stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, and instantly felt refreshed.
His eyes, which were originally slightly nearsighted, could now clearly see even the tiny patterns and spots on the window's protective railing.
The few white hairs on his head were gone, replaced by thicker, darker hair.
Clenching his fists, he could feel the surging power within his body with a single effort, and couldn't help but grin, saying, "Awesome!"
Although buying the pills cost him most of his contribution points, it seemed to be worth it. If he hadn't run out of contribution points, he would have bought the Golden Ascension Pill too.
Su Ran got up, intending to take a shower and eat something first.
However, just then, his hearing, which had also become acute, noticed the commotion coming from downstairs.
Su Ran's mouth suddenly curved upwards: "Hmm, then I'll open the door first!"
… …
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded, looking at each other.
After a long while, someone tentatively asked in a weak voice: "Um, it's no use for us just standing here. Why doesn't a powerful big brother try smashing the door again?"
But these words drew angry glares from the crowd, the stronger individuals glaring the most fiercely.
Try again?
Didn't they see the last person who tried that was still lying on the ground?
If we go again, are you implying our lives aren't long enough, huh?
Even Liu Chengfeng looked at the sharp-faced youth with lingering fear. He, of course, recognized the youth, Zhou Yang, a core student of the academy and a frequent on the Heavenly Ranking.
But even such a favored son of heaven, from smashing the door to being flung to the ground, had been lying there for over ten minutes, still maintaining a bent posture and twitching on the ground.
Moreover, if it weren't for him, it would probably be himself lying on the ground.
While sighing, Liu Chengfeng once again felt the unfathomable depth of this Internet Cafe. Not to mention the computers, even the main door was so particular.
"How about we go back today?"
"Yeah, we can't open the door anyway, so staying here is useless!"
"Alright, we'll come back tomorrow to check the situation. If there's still no one, we'll have to report it to the Security Team and let them figure something out!"
At this point, some people felt that waiting here further would yield no results and were considering leaving.
But just as they hesitated and deliberated.
"Beep!"
Suddenly, an electronic lock unlocking sound came from the Internet Cafe's main door.
Then, the Internet Cafe's door was pushed open with a whoosh, and a figure walked out from inside.
The first few people who looked over immediately shouted excitedly: "Boss!"
The others, hearing the sound, shivered and quickly looked over, all with expressions of pleasant surprise.
"It's the Boss!"
"It's open, it's finally open!"
"So, Boss, you're fine, you scared us, it was a false alarm!"
Everyone excitedly surrounded Su Ran.
Su Ran, at this moment, smiled and waved at everyone: "Um, hello everyone!"
"Boss, are you alright? You don't look sick at all, why did you…"
Wu Lei also excitedly went up, rushing to the front, originally wanting to ask Su Ran why he opened the door so late, but halfway through his sentence, he was suddenly stung by a golden light: "Ouch, Boss, are you wearing some gold jewelry on your hand?"
He only felt something on Su Ran's wrist, sparkling with golden light, a bit dazzling.
"Yeah, why is it so shiny?"
The people who followed also had the same feeling.
However, when Wu Lei clearly saw Su Ran's wrist, his pupils instantly dilated, his mouth wide open, and he said with some difficulty: "You, you, you guys… Look at the Boss's wrist!"
"I say, Wu Lei, I know you're excited to see the Boss, but you don't have to be this excited, even stuttering, haha!"
At this moment, Ouyang Qing, who had followed, laughed, but as her gaze also fell upon Su Ran's wrist, she instantly trembled, swallowed with some difficulty, and then also stuttered: "Go… Go… Golden star ring!"
The others also looked over one after another.
"Oh my god!"
"How is this possible!"
"Impossible, I remember Boss, you weren't even a martial artist before, right?"
"Could it be that Boss, you were hiding your strength before?"
More and more people noticed the Golden star ring on Su Ran's wrist, and then all showed expressions of disbelief.
Some even rubbed their eyes hard, suspecting they were hallucinating.
"I wasn't hiding my strength!"
But then Su Ran said with a faint smile: "It's just that I accidentally broke through in cultivation yesterday and spent the whole night consolidating my strength, which is why I opened the door so late today. I'm specially explaining it to everyone here!"
… …
Suddenly, there was no sound.
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Ran as if he were a monster.
If he had said he had been hiding his strength all along, they could have accepted it.
Accidentally broke through?
You accidentally broke through? Do you mean going from not even being a martial artist to a Golden-level expert overnight? Are you on steroids?
And you deliberately told us?
No wonder the first thing the Boss did when he opened the door was wave. This was indeed deliberate.
Hello, 110? We suspect someone here is deliberately showing off!"
