Chapter 11 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 011: A Strange City Having hastily finished the simple breakfast Nan Yin prepared, Jiang Mi, with half a slice of bread hanging from her mouth, immediately stepped on the gas. Surprisingly, the Rowland High School that the Nan sisters attended adopted a Western educational method, there was no 'learning race' in the mornings like what Nan Yin had experienced in domestic high schools. The school required students to arrive before eight o'clock, and classes started at half-past eight. There were no morning exercises or pre-class reading sessions, activities Nan Yin used to dread. Given the speed at which Jiang Mi drove, Nan Yin and her companions arrived punctually at an underground parking lot near the school at seven forty. Since Jiang Mi didn't have a driver's license, they had to park here and walk to the school. This city always awakened too early. The dust from the previous night had not yet settled down, and the dimmed street lights seemed still to let out a faint yellow glow. Few people took notice of such a scene. Young white-collar workers, wrapped in trench coats, waited for shuttles on the streets while hovercars zipped past one after another, filled with the city's middle-class residents who, though slightly wealthy, still found themselves constantly exhausted from running around daily. At this hour, one could hardly see any "upper-class people." More frequently seen were mothers with their children, company employees running like their lives depended on it for fear of being late, uncles planning to head out on floating boards for business, among many others. The breakfast stalls were always crowded along the road, with endless calls bouncing back and forth. Luckily, the owners had developed an impressive ability to remember orders. Where wasn't it crowded, though? Drone stations, subways, supermarkets. A spiderweb-like network of transportation covered every corner of the city. Everyone was busy, busy with their own difficult but routine daily lives. As Nan Yin looked at this bustling city, she felt somewhat dazed for a moment. This was different from the downtrodden and backward lower city Nan Yin had been in before. Instead, this was the main urban area of Tianzhou City, the truly developed region where one could feel the breath of the times and technology. In this place, there was no smell of decay or conservatism. The fast-paced life and innovative lifestyle constantly pushed one forward, but thinking about it carefully, it was somewhat suffocating. The cause of Nan Yin's melancholy was that the atmosphere of Tianzhou City was too familiar to her, making her involuntarily juxtapose this city with a certain city from a previous world. "The annual Global Special Power Winter Ring Tournament will be held in Tianzhou City in three days. Smith Academy has issued an admission notice..." "Shen Huang successfully mastered the controllable nuclear technology, and the Coronary Royal Family issued a statement..." "Tianzhou City will launch a new round of special power support plans in two months. This plan will be conducted in conjunction with the practical examinations of special powers in various primary and secondary schools…" News and hot topics in the city were continuously broadcasted by hovering holographic projections in the sky of Tianzhou City. With Jiang Mi, her little brownie, in one hand and Nan Xi tailing behind her, Nan Yin looked up at the various drones in the sky and the striking holographic projection. Her mind gradually settled. This was a world completely different from her previous life, but life had to go on. If it's to come, then let it. Speaking of which, the overall structure of Tianzhou City should be mentioned. Tianzhou City is an "air city" established on the sea according to the "Longjing Treaty" after the end of the full-scale war between the Eastern Shen Huang Empire and the Western Alliance Xi Qi. The reason why it is called Tianzhou City is that more than two-thirds of the city's foundation is built on a giant airship, which according to the treaty, is the disarmed flagship "Modulia" of the first fleet of Xi Qi. Sixteen artificial islands surround the periphery of Tianzhou City. The city cluster on the "Modulia" is the sub-city area of Tianzhou City, and sixteen major influential special power academies and their affiliated residential areas are distributed on these sixteen artificial islands. And the main district where Rowland High School is located is on the sixth island. The place where Nan Yin and her companions managed to get up early and rush to on foot is the bridgehead of the sky bridge connecting the city area of Tianzhou to the sixth island, which was already swarming with people. Fortunately, most of the people here were early-rising office workers and non-Rowland High School students, so it was quite easy for Nan Yin and her companions to reach the east gate of Rowland High School. At this point, members of the disciplinary committee were checking the arriving students. As soon as Nan Yin, Jiang Mi, and Nan Xi appeared at the gate of Rowland High School, they immediately attracted the attention of many students. Jiang Mi faced it all with her head held high and her chest out, Nan Xi blushed slightly, but Nan Yin remained indifferent. To tell the truth, the original text's description of Nan Yin, a cannon-fodder villain, only swiftly glossed over in a sentence. But after crossing over, Nan Yin discovered that the original host's appearance was not bad, even stunningly beautiful! Especially her head of snowy long hair, which took her overall beauty to another level. However, it seemed... coming to school bare-faced today was indeed a mistake. "Holy cow, is this a girl from our school? When did our school get such a pretty girl?" "Dumbass, can't you see her uniform? She seems to be our senior from high school!" "I know the girl with the orange hair, Jiang Mi, right?, the thorny rose of senior high. But the other two next to her are..." "Look at the girl with the snow-white hair in front! As long as I can get her QQ number, my life will be complete!" "Don't daydream, we're going to be late!" ... Nan Yin listened to the unhidden conversations of the students beside her, feeling a bit nostalgic. Wasn't she like this when she was in high school? But back then, she was merely an onlooker. By the time Nan Yin and the others arrived at the school gate check-in, almost all the guys in line willingly gave way. A few stubborn girls swiped their campus cards and walked into the school, casting scrutinizing eyes at Nan Yin and her group. "Erm... Hello, senior, your student card..." The orderly on duty today was a high school sophomore. The bespectacled boy in front of Nan Yin, seeing the senior uniform on the gorgeous young girl before him, started speaking nervously. "..." Nan Yin decided to keep quiet; she took out her student card and swiped it twice, shoving Jiang Mi and Nan Xi through the school gate. The young boy sneaked a peek: Class 27, High School second year... Nan Yin? Is she a liberal arts class senior? Speaking of which, why does this name sound so familiar? Wasn't it mentioned by the principal a few days a? But the boy was even more puzzled after that because he found that this senior named Nan Yin, after pushing the two stunningly attractive young girls she had brought into the school, didn't follow them in. In fact, she turned around and left immediately after sending those two into the school. What exactly was happening?
