The Reincarnated OP Protagonist Is Now A 3rd Grade Student (Patreon)

Chapter 16: Even Weapons Were Cheap

Wielding the iced tea-enchanted broom like a reincarnated Lu Bu, he brutally thrashed the group of sixth graders who were already terrified by his presence. He chased them away, causing each of them to flee in panic while holding their heads. Finally, he stopped after a while, panting, and stood where he was to catch his breath.

"Is my iced tea... really that powerful?"

Fatso stared at the terrified sixth graders, finding it hard to believe that his little buddy had actually overcome the three-grade gap in strength and a numerical disadvantage to defeat these troublemaking students from another school.

"You two, return this to its place for me."

Chen An handed the broom back to the two who were following him and said solemnly, "I've got urgent matters to attend to, so I won't be able to play cards with you."

Fatso carefully took the broom, while Skinny was puzzled. "Is there something else you need to do? We need to spread the word about this incident quickly. You scared away sixth graders from another school. Once the news gets out, we'll be able to walk proudly around the school!"

"It doesn't matter how we handle this. I need to find Lu Li and persuade her to continue her silly actions."

Chen An explained briefly and set off toward his destination, ignoring their inquiries.

"Hold on a second."

The system hurriedly caught up and grabbed Chen An's hair as he dashed forward. Confused, it said, "You said you want to find someone. Do you know where Lu Li lives? And she might not even be home."

"I don't know, but I can make a good guess."

Chen An glanced at the advertisement for the "Longmen Cram School" on the utility pole.

【Either let us use the richest faculty to cultivate your child, or let us cultivate your child's competitors under the same conditions!】

【Address: Fourth floor of Fengyuan Mall, turn right at the entrance】

There won't be any mistakes. She's highly likely to be attracted by this advertisement that incites hatred among young students, which is why she hasn't come to school. Fengyuan Mall, fourth floor! She's there! Moreover, this mall isn't far from where he is. If he runs fast, he should be able to get there within an hour.

However, on the way to the mall, Chen An hesitated and stopped...

Certainly, he wanted to stop his desk mate's unconscious violent behavior, but could he really stop it? The Long Aotian System won't awaken until after thirty, and he's just an elementary school student now.

"So what?"

The little fairy tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Aren't you going?"

"At least I need to make some preparations."

Muttering to himself, Chen An turned around and jogged toward a stationery store.

Inside the stationery store, an old man lying on a high-back chair, holding a teacup, raised his head listlessly. After glancing at Chen An, he lowered his head again, engrossed in the shoddy sound of the radio. He hummed along with the drama, without the slightest intention of preventing theft. In fact, there was no need to.

It's been a long time since school started, and the mischievous troublemakers' red scarves had already become worn due to their playful antics. However, the child who had just entered, his red scarf was as brand new as if it had just been given to him.

Without a doubt, he was a very disciplined and well-behaved child. Such a well-behaved child wouldn't engage in petty theft and mischief. There's no need to keep an eye on someone so obedient...

Abruptly, a feeling of unease gripped the old man. A foreboding sensation made him raise his head sharply. The child who had entered earlier was standing in front of him like a ghost, and in front of his eyes, a black void appeared...

A gun muzzle!!!

At this moment, a strong sense of fear and countless worries flooded the old man's eyes. His voice even trembled slightly, "Child... you... calm down!"

"Boss, I'm calm, and I know exactly what I'm doing right now."

Chen An played with the gun in his hand and tilted his head, "I want this Desert Eagle. How much does it cost?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, the old man whispered, "Five yuan, with a small pack of BB pellets as a gift."

Chen An promptly took out four one-yuan bills and two fifty-cent coins from his pocket, placing them on the counter.

Worry deepened in the old man's eyes, "Child, believe me, I know that for people your age, guns can be very attractive. Holding one can make you feel 'cool' and stylish, but let me give you a piece of advice, it's just an illusion. True coolness lies in 'Peking Opera' and the 'Erhu.' I can tell you're a well... Hey, child! Child!"

Chen An didn't stop to listen to the old man's rambling words. He left without even turning his head. Along the way, he found a small black button protruding from the grip of the Desert Eagle. After pressing it, the plastic magazine popped out. He then tore open the plastic package and loaded the 4.5mm BB pellets into the magazine one by one.

"Is this what you call preparation?"

The little fairy looked at Chen An, who had loaded the gun with a snap, speechless, "Are you planning to use this five-yuan Desert Eagle to deal with Lu Li?"

"Otherwise? Do you want me to use an AK47?"

Chen An rolled his eyes, "It's obvious that the AK47 is expensive just by looking at it. You can't get one for less than fifteen yuan. That would be a critical blow to my pocket money. I can only make do with this Desert Eagle. At least, shooting at a delicate elementary school student will still have a significant effect."

"Um, as long as you're happy..."

The little fairy didn't continue to criticize Chen An's attitude of thinking that he could face Lu Li, who was carrying two suitcases of TNT, with a five-yuan toy gun. After all... she saw the one-meter-two child's mouth curling up high. Even in the current perilous situation, the corners of his mouth were lifted high.

Perhaps he hadn't even noticed himself, but he was very happy right now, extraordinarily happy.

The little fairy shook her head helplessly. After all, no matter how mature the mind is, the body is still that of a child. When faced with such extraordinary romantic events, of course, there would be boundless excitement. And this excitement...

Chen An stopped in his tracks. He was standing in front of the target building, a bustling mall where people were coming and going. His opponent, Lu Li, was waiting for him ahead.

Yes, a few more steps, and he would definitely reach Lu Li's side to stop her from detonating the two suitcases of TNT in the mall. As long as...

Suddenly, Chen An felt a bucket of cold water being poured over his head. He snapped out of a blind, irrational fanaticism and returned to a state of sobriety. His eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of 'apprehension.'

"Ah, I just remembered! I haven't even touched my homework!"

Standing in front of the mall, Chen An suddenly halted his steps, and he said seriously to the little fairy, "How about we go back and finish our homework before we come here?"
