Chapter 103 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

After bumping heads with Shirou and Fube Zhengsi, Nan Yin took Jiang Mi back to her small apartment. On the way, Jiang Mi, who had been offline since they entered the restaurant, finally came online and immediately hugged Nan Yin tightly and kissed her passionately, full of astonishment in her tone. "Sis! I didn't know you were this amazing!" It was only then that Jiang Mi realized how capable her elder sister was. Previously, during Nan Yin's battle against the mercenaries at the medical center, Jiang Mi had thought of her elder sister as a cool gun-wielding female hero. However, today changed everything. Not only did she meet the legendary leader of the biker gang, Lance Zoya, but she also encountered real espers. And all of this was because of her seemingly unremarkable elder sister! Initially, Jiang Mi had thought her elder sister's only strength was her good looks. She had never expected her to have such a successful career. What was even the point of her going to school? Jiang Mi immediately wanted to drop out and help her elder sister with her career. However, much to her surprise, her elder sister, who was still dazed from the kiss, sternly rejected her idea. "No! You will study hard and enter the Academy of Espers," Nan Yin said firmly. "Why?" Jiang Mi was puzzled. "What if my esper level is low? Why do I have to go to the Academy of Espers?" Facing Jiang Mi's question, Nan Yin hesitated. At this moment, her precognition abilities wouldn't be of any help, as the original work didn't provide much information about Jiang Mi's character. Nan Yin didn't even know what Jiang Mi's esper level was. But Nan Yin's intention for Jiang Mi to continue her education was not about cultivating esper abilities. She wanted Jiang Mi to be knowledgeable, rather than becoming a conceited troublemaker in the Philo District. Nan Yin didn't need to go to school herself since her previous university degree was genuine, and she didn't require knowledge. Her four decades of social experience from her past life were enough to build her career. Furthermore, Nan Yin's esper genes had been taken by Nan Shan and given to Nan Xi, rendering Nan Yin incapable of entering the Twelve Espers Academy. However, Jiang Mi was different from her. Even if her esper level was average, she could enter any esper academy. Her future opportunities would be completely different from Nan Yin's. Moreover, Nan Yin knew the stark difference between having a university education and not having one, especially for someone like Jiang Mi, who had almost no background. Entering an esper academy was perhaps the best choice for her to seek opportunities. As for helping Nan Yin with her career, Nan Yin stated that it could wait until Jiang Mi graduated from the university. After all, the academic year in the esper academy was only six years, and after one year of study, esper students could perform external duties. This meant that Nan Yin could involve Jiang Mi in her career just a year later, by which time she herself didn't know how Anbrella International would have developed. "Anyway! This is not up for discussion! It's very dangerous to follow me, do you understand?" Nan Yin held Jiang Mi and stared straight into her eyes, emphasizing each word. "But... Sis, you're not..." "I said it's not up for discussion! At least wait until you manifest your esper ability. When you can defeat Fube, then you can help me." Nan Yin cut off Jiang Mi's words using Fube Zhengsi, as Jiang Mi also knew how powerful the middle-aged man in Chinese attire was. When Jiang Mi could defeat Fube Zhengsi, she would at least be a Tier-3 esper, and self-protection in the small Philo District would not be an issue. At that time, Nan Yin could also bring Jiang Mi into Anbrella International as her right-hand woman. And so, Jiang Mi's dream of entrepreneurship was crushed in its infancy. Seeing the dejected orange-haired girl, Nan Yin spent some time comforting her. Back at home, summer Yi Yi naturally didn't notice their absence and thought Nan Yin and Jiang Mi had just left early. The naive girl didn't know that she had been burgled by the seemingly harmless Jiang Mi and proceeded to happily make breakfast for them. After a mundane day passed, the equipment promised by Li Yitian arrived as scheduled the following day. Nan Yin chose the handover location at the abandoned factory since Jiang Mi already knew about her affairs, and she reluctantly brought Jiang Mi along at the girl's earnest insistence. Amid Jiang Mi's constant exclamations, the handover was completed, and Nan Yin immediately started working according to Li Yitian's instructions, arranging for a team that came with the equipment to begin renovation of the factory and construction of a new office building. After all, how could their company not have its own office space? At the absurdly fast pace of cybernetic construction in this world, it wouldn't be long before this place would no longer be called an abandoned factory but Anbrella International. After busily completing all this with Jiang Mi, Nan Yin hurriedly returned home, only to find an unexpected guest waiting for her. "Sis... Big sis." Looking at the expressionless snow-haired girl in a black hoodie, Nan Xi was a bit afraid for a moment, but she still gathered her courage and called out to her big sister. "What are you doing here?" The girl's voice was cold. After all, Nan Yin was furious whenever she saw Nan Xi now, and it was impossible for her to be kind to her. Just a few days ago, she had discussed esper abilities with Jiang Mi, only to have her own esper abilities taken away by Nan Shan and given to her younger sister. It was unlikely for Nan Yin to be nice to Nan Xi. Upon hearing Nan Yin's unfriendly tone, Nan Xi immediately started to back off. But then she remembered what Su Xiaoyu had said. "Remember, treat your sister as a love interest and pursue her! Pursuing someone... is all about being unyielding! Good luck, I believe in you!" "I... I just came to see you," Nan Xi thought as she ran up to Nan Yin and clung to her arm, acting cute, just like she did in their childhood. "See me?" Nan Yin glanced at Nan Xi's hand holding her arm and promptly pulled her arm back. "Why did you come to see me? We have nothing to do with each other anymore. After all, that's what you said. I'm not your sister." And with that, Nan Yin left Nan Xi at the door, feeling dejected, and walked into the house without saying a word. "Nan Xi, Nan Xi, you can't let this defeat you. You must win back your sister... understand?" Watching Nan Yin's back, Nan Xi encouraged herself internally. At this point, Jiang Mi, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Nan Xi inside the house. "Let's go inside first. Your sister's mood today is actually quite good," Jiang Mi suggested cryptically.
