One-Click Upgrade: Super Decomposition System

C67 – Neighbor

Unbeknownst to Jiang Hao, someone was seeking revenge against him at this very moment.

He believed that staying at home wouldn’t suffice to strengthen himself. He was prepared to venture out and seize opportunities.

Just as Jiang Hao stepped outside, the door across from him swung open, and an elegantly dressed beauty emerged.

Seeing his neighbor, Jiang Hao was taken aback.

“What an incredible coincidence!”

On the other side, Tian Tong, who was on the verge of heading out, spotted Jiang Hao and was momentarily stunned. Joy quickly overcame her.

“It’s you?”

“Fantastic! I’ve finally located you!”

Tian Tong rushed to Jiang Hao’s side and enthusiastically pulled him along, brimming with happiness.

“Oh, I never expected this. How is your grandfather doing?”

Indeed, this was the granddaughter of Old Master, whom Jiang Hao had rescued in the park after leaving his early exam. It was Tian Tong!

“He’s doing well. My grandfather has fully recovered from his illness, and his health has greatly improved!”

Tian Tong, too, found it hard to believe when discussing her grandfather’s transformation.

After all, she was familiar with her grandfather’s condition before.

“That’s wonderful!”

Jiang Hao’s inquiry was casual. He had no doubts about the efficacy of Vital Essence.

This outcome was what he had anticipated all along.

“Are you heading out? I’m going for a stroll!”

Jiang Hao glanced at Tian Tong, who was eagerly tugging at his arm, offering a reminder.

“Ah!”

Upon hearing this, Tian Tong rolled her eyes and then turned to Jiang Hao, quickly saying,

“Funny enough, I was planning to take a stroll as well. Let’s go together!”

Jiang Hao didn’t decline the offer.

Initially, he had no ulterior motives and was merely trying his luck. But now, with a beautiful woman accompanying him, it couldn’t have been better!

Subsequently, the two of them departed from the Jing Tai District and headed toward a nearby river.

During the journey, Jiang Hao and Tian Tong grew more acquainted with each other.

Jiang Hao discovered that Tian Tong was also a high school student studying at Heavenly River No.1 High School!

Tian Tong even shared with Jiang Hao that her grandfather had been searching for his benefactor for a long time.

She extended an invitation to Jiang Hao, asking him to visit her home later that night.

When Jiang Hao had rescued her, he hadn’t anticipated returning the favor, so he initially wanted to decline. However, he couldn’t resist Tian Tong’s persistent requests.

He could only agree.

And so, the two of them engaged in casual conversation.

“Ah~!”

At that moment, a sudden scream sent shockwaves through the crowd, startling numerous people.

Everyone turned their heads to locate the source of the cry.

“What happened? Who’s in trouble?”

“Something seems to be going on up ahead. Let’s go see!”

……

At that very moment, someone pointed toward the river and exclaimed,

“Look… Damn it, a child has fallen into the river!”

Without delay, a crowd gathered along the river’s edge, their attention fixed on the water.

As expected, a child was floundering in the river, splashing water haphazardly. The child appeared to be unaware of how to swim and was clearly in distress. Each cry was accompanied by an inadvertent gulp of water.

In the midst of the commotion, the child’s mother paid no heed to the crowd’s warnings and leaped into the river herself.

Unluckily, she too lacked swimming skills and struggled to stay afloat after her plunge, ingesting water in the process.

Jiang Hao and Tian Tong witnessed the unfolding drama and felt a sense of urgency.

“What can we do? What can we do?” Tian Tong fretted.

“Does anyone here know how to swim? We must rescue them quickly!” Jiang Hao urged.

Unfortunately, the bystanders consisted mostly of elderly individuals on a leisurely stroll. Relying on them for a rescue seemed impractical.

In that critical moment, Jiang Hao suddenly recalled that he had acquired swimming abilities from his previous fish experience.

Without hesitation, he took a daring leap into the water.
