One hammer per crybaby!

Gao Neng watched Jin Lingling get closer and closer, the impulse in his heart growing stronger.

’Should I take down Jin Lingling and the three high school thugs first? Then go take down that old lady in makeup? If I do that, I’ll have a five-kill count.’

’Wait!’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

’Something doesn’t seem right...’

’I have no idea what that pointy-eared woman’s power level is. What if I fight her head-on... and can’t win? It wouldn’t just be me in danger; Jin Lingling and these crybabies would probably die here too.’

’One guy and four girls!’

"Help me... Classmate Gao Neng!" Jin Lingling had already lunged in front of Gao Neng. At the same time, her foot conveniently slipped, and her body went limp as she collapsed before him.

This fall was so...

’Fake!’

Gao Neng fought the urge to bring his hammer down on her. He took a deep breath. "Halt, you three vicious thugs! Have you no decency? Can’t you see you’ve scared an innocent old grandma so much she’s fallen over? Can’t you at least help the grandma up before you continue your mugging?!"

"???"

The three high school thugs were a bit slow to react.

According to a normal script, what Gao Neng should be yelling right now was: "Hey! Bullying a good girl in broad daylight, do you have a death wish?"

Then, they would follow up with: "Get out of the way, kid, or we’ll make you wish you were dead."

Finally, they would symbolically get into a small scuffle with Gao Neng, throw a punch, and then immediately run for it, leaving behind the line: "The green mountains remain, the clear water flows forever."

’But what kind of line is this?’

’Help the innocent old grandma first?’

’The lines are all wrong, it’s hard for us to follow up!’

The three high school thugs exchanged glances. Then, their gazes subconsciously drifted to the fallen old grandma not far away. For a moment, they were actually a little conflicted.

’She does look pretty innocent...’

’Classmate Gao Neng isn’t just handsome, he’s also really kind-hearted.’

’Maybe we should help her up first?’

One of the high school thugs started to move, but she was quickly pulled back by the one in the middle, who then shot her a fierce glare.

This made the other girl who had been about to help clench her teeth.

’Those who achieve great things don’t sweat the small stuff!’

’For Principal Xue of the Girls’ High School to successfully become the chairman of the Supervisory Committee, a small sacrifice is worth it.’ So, they prepared to forcibly pull the plot back on track.

"Stinky kid, let go of that beautiful and cute girl, we... huh?!"

Before the three high school students could finish, they saw that Gao Neng had already walked around the fallen Jin Lingling and was striding over to the old grandma who had fallen on the ground.

"..." The three high school students were dumbfounded.

’How are we supposed to continue this act?’

’Jin Lingling is right in front of us, completely exposed. Are we supposed to go rip her clothes? Or help the old grandma with Gao Neng?’

Just as they were thinking this, they saw Jin Lingling glare fiercely at them, then point her finger at Gao Neng, who was standing by the old grandma.

"Gao... wait, no, stinky kid, let go of that innocent old grandma right now!" one of the high school students instantly reacted and shouted.

"Are you a f*cking idiot?" Another high school student, furious at her incompetence, kicked the one who had spoken right in the butt. Then, she cleared her throat. "Stinky kid, if you want to save this beautiful and cute girl, then show us what you’re really made of!"

"Yeah, our boss is right! Stinky kid, get over here!" The last one nodded and pointed a finger at Gao Neng.

After they finished speaking, the three high school students even remembered to wink at Jin Lingling.

The meaning was obvious...

’We’re doing a great job acting, right?’

"..." Jin Lingling’s face darkened, but she couldn’t say anything. Helpless, she could only force herself to get up and run toward Gao Neng again. "Senior Gao Neng, save me!"

Gao Neng’s face had also darkened.

’Could this acting be any faker?’

Still, he could understand. The girls’ high school was a closed-off campus, with students attending from middle school all the way through high school. It was safe to say they rarely went out.

’Forget it.’

’Time to show them what real acting is.’

Gao Neng ignored Jin Lingling running up from behind him. He reached out his left hand and placed it on the pointy-eared woman’s shoulder, a look of sincere concern on his face. "Grandma, are you hurt?"

"N-no... Young man, you’re truly kind..." The pointy-eared woman shook her head and tried to stand up on her own, but she found her shoulder was being held down by Gao Neng.

She tried.

She couldn’t get up.

"Grandma, don’t move. Let me check you for injuries. Our teacher said that the older you get, the more brittle your bones become, and it’s easy to fracture them... If you’re really hurt, I’ll take you to the hospital," Gao Neng said kindly, all while holding the pointy-eared woman down.

"Check me? Oh... you’re so considerate, young man. I feel like my back... something’s not quite right. It hurts a little here... Young man, could you take a look for me?" The pointy-eared woman’s eyes narrowed. She then put on an amiable smile, pointing to her lower back with one hand while the other casually rested on her chest.

There, a cold dagger was hidden. As soon as Gao Neng turned his back to check her, that dagger could instantly take his life.

"Your back? Okay, I’ll take a look for you right now!" Gao Neng looked down, pressed down hard with his left hand, and simultaneously, his right hand swiftly pulled out the hammer hidden behind his back.

The gleaming hammer was heavy and solid.

He didn’t hesitate.

He raised the hammer straight up.

Under the moonlight, Gao Neng held the pointy-eared woman’s shoulder with one hand and raised the hammer high with the other, looking as mighty and magnificent as a descending "Hammer God." He was certain that if this hammer struck the back of the woman’s head, she would be knocked out cold on the spot.

However, this action of his gave the approaching Jin Lingling a huge fright.

"Ah... a hammer?!"

"Hmm?!" The pointy-eared woman’s expression changed. The dagger at her chest was drawn in a flash. She had originally planned to strike when Gao Neng went to check her back, but now there was no time for hesitation.

’Damn it!’

The pointy-eared woman instinctively tried to stab Gao Neng’s chest, but her shoulder was pinned firmly down. In this situation, she couldn’t get up at all.

’No other way!’

She had to settle for the next best thing and chose to stab at Gao Neng’s thigh.

"A dagger?" Gao Neng was also startled. He had suspected there was something wrong with the pointy-eared woman, but he hadn’t expected her to actually be after him.

Fortunately, he had been prepared. Seeing the dagger lunge toward him, he immediately used the force of his left hand pressing on the woman’s shoulder to propel himself behind her.

"Die!"

His position had changed.

Although Gao Neng’s hammer could no longer hit the back of her head, a blow coming down from above was still not something she could withstand.

"YOOO!!!" At that moment, a strange, bird-like shriek came from the pointy-eared woman’s mouth, but it carried a soul-shaking impact.

Gao Neng was rattled by the cry.

’It’s a little uncomfortable.’

However, he wasn’t greatly affected.

The hammer in his hand only paused for a moment before continuing its downward swing.

"THUD!"

A muffled sound rang out.

With this blow, Gao Neng had aimed for the top of the pointy-eared woman’s head, but her reaction was simply too fast. At the last second, she forcibly tilted her head to the side.

As a result, the hammer grazed past her ear and slammed into her shoulder.

But even so...

The pointy-eared woman was still knocked to the ground by the blow.

"A miss?!" Gao Neng really wanted to land another blow, but the instant the pointy-eared woman hit the ground, she assumed a defensive posture.

She propped herself up with both hands and kicked both legs straight at him.

’So agile!’

Gao Neng had no choice but to retreat.

One could say that they had separated as quickly as they had clashed.

The scene unfolded in a flash.

Jin Lingling and the three high school students were completely stunned. They hadn’t even understood what had just happened.

"Classmate Gao Neng, why did you..."

"Alien! She’s an alien! Run!" Gao Neng had no time to blame Jin Lingling now. He shouted immediately because he could already tell that this pointy-eared woman was extremely strong. He was no match for her, and Jin Lingling and the others stood even less of a chance.

"What?!"

"A-Alien?!"

"How could this old grandma be an alien? She doesn’t look like one to me... huh?"

Jin Lingling couldn’t process it, and neither could the other three high school students.

But at that moment, the pointy-eared woman moved again. She pushed off the ground with both feet and shot forward, hugging the ground. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Jin Lingling.

"Ah!"

Jin Lingling tried to dodge.

But the pointy-eared woman was too fast; she subdued her in an instant.

"Wh-what do you want?! This is human territory..." Jin Lingling panicked. She didn’t want to die; she still had her whole bright future ahead of her.
