Long hair?

Chapter 31 • 1,291 words • 11 min read

After drinking the potion, Su Ran fell asleep immediately, feeling more comfortable than ever before; his whole body seemed to melt.

He closed his eyes and lay in bed, sleeping almost straight through until daybreak. When Su Ran opened his eyes, he had recovered his full energy, ready to face another day of power-leveling tasks.

A fair, delicate hand emerged from the covers, scratching the top of his head.

Still groggy from just waking up, Su Ran couldn’t help but stretch comfortably, allowing his slightly stiff body from sleeping all night to relax.

Aside from the itching on his scalp, Su Ran felt that his physical condition was better than ever before.

However, that scratch made the still-dazed Su Ran notice an anomaly; the lingering drowsiness vanished instantly.

When Su Ran reached up to touch his head, the sensation was different from usual. What should have been prickly short hair had become smooth and silky, gliding through Su Ran’s slender fingers without any resistance.

Picking up a strand of long hair and holding it in front of his eyes, Su Ran fell into silence as he looked at the soft, black, and glossy locks.

His hair had grown this long in just one night? If he opened a hair growth clinic, he might even earn a fortune treating baldness.

Faced with his flowing long hair, Su Ran could only comfort himself with dark humor.

What was fortunate for him was that Eve had said during dinner last night that she would be in school for intensive training to prepare for an outing, so she wouldn’t be back for a while. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain the changes in his appearance.

At that moment, Su Ran turned to look at himself in the mirror.

Black hair cascaded down his back, like a waterfall, flowing and swaying in the air as Su Ran moved his body. His pink lips were delicate and petite, making anyone who saw them want to taste them. His skin retained its fair, translucent tenderness from being shielded from sunlight for a long time.

His eyes sparkled, and looking at himself in the mirror, he saw a hint of shyness and curiosity.

The Su Ran in the mirror was as exquisite as a natural work of art; even if the world’s most discerning connoisseurs were gathered, they wouldn’t be able to find a single flaw from any angle.

If he had to pick out a problem, it would only be the flat expanse of his chest, which would be a disappointment for some.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Su Ran tilted his head slightly and touched his fair neck, feeling a familiar Adam’s apple, which gave him some comfort.

Besides touching above, Su Ran didn’t forget to check below. The sensations from both top and bottom temporarily relieved his anxiety.

It was just a side effect of the potion; as long as it allowed him to stand up again, he could accept this side effect.

At least this time it was just growing hair. Compared to the change in his voice when he drank the second potion, Su Ran found it much more acceptable.

Although Su Ran liked women with long hair that reached their waist, when his own hair became like this, Su Ran personally felt the trouble and inconvenience that came with his full head of long hair.

Due to his immobility, he needed to sit in bed. As a result, whenever Su Ran had to turn around, his hair would be pulled, causing his sensitive scalp to be pulled along with it, triggering a stinging pain.

After his scalp was pulled countless times, Su Ran, unable to endure it any longer, rummaged through the bedside table and found a pair of scissors.

He was preparing to trim his suddenly grown waist-length hair.

Not asking to cut it back to short hair, but at least restoring it to shoulder-length hair, Su Ran could barely accept it.

Having made up his mind, Su Ran grabbed a strand of hair that fell beside his ear and placed it on the sharp scissors.

Click!

The seemingly soft and silky hair was unaffected by the scissors, while the seemingly sharp scissors had chipped.

Su Ran stared blankly at the strand of hair in his hand. He didn’t expect his hair to be able to chip the scissors. Could it be that because he consumed a superhuman potion, the hair that grew out also had superhuman attributes?

Seeing the damaged scissors, Su Ran abandoned the idea of cutting his hair. Although the appearance of long hair brought him various inconveniences, these were all minor things that he could endure.

Su Ran remembered that in the Witch Set gifted by the system, there were two hair ties for styling. He could use this opportunity to tie up his hair.

So, he found the hair ties and divided his hair into two parts, securing them with the hair ties.

The originally messy hair became neat, and the key was that Su Ran no longer had to worry about pulling his hair due to his large movements.

After doing all this, Su Ran logged into Narukami and officially began his power-leveling tasks for the day.

The daily power-leveling tasks were not complicated, and Su Ran was skilled at them. By morning, he had completed half of the accounts.

Leaning slightly backward, Su Ran stretched comfortably, twisting his slightly stiff neck.

He didn’t know if it was psychological, but Su Ran felt that his head seemed heavier after tying two pigtails.

Since the time he spent facing the computer was the same as yesterday, excluding all other possibilities, he could only tearfully blame his two pigtails.

When it was noon, Su Ran still maintained his good routine, sitting in his wheelchair to cook instant noodles.

“I need to buy things.”

Looking at the instant noodles left in the cupboard, Su Ran realized that he needed to replenish his supplies. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to eat in the evening.

While waiting for the instant noodles to cook, Su Ran selected the items he needed and prepared to have them delivered to his door.

But when he went to pay, a big prompt popped up.

“Insufficient balance?!”

Su Ran remembered that his savings shouldn’t have been insufficient. He quickly opened his phone to check his balance.

As a result, he saw a row of deductions displaying “Witch Entertainment Co., Ltd.,” and Su Ran’s heart sank.

The seemingly small expenses had accumulated, and calculating from the bank statement, it seemed that he had really spent all his savings.

To avoid starving tomorrow, Su Ran logged into his alternate account, preparing to ask Qiu Feifei if she needed a play-along.

There was still some time before the power-leveling clients paid him next month.

Although Isa could send him some Earth Dragon meat to solve his food problem, the internet, water, and electricity bills still had to be paid on time.

There was actually another way to make money, which was to have Isa hunt some Sequence Two magical beasts in Noda Forest and send the magic crystals to Su Ran to exchange for money.

But after carefully considering this idea, Su Ran immediately rejected it.

First of all, he was not familiar with the distribution of magical beasts near Jiangbei City. If the magic crystals he took out did not belong to the magical beasts near the city, he would not be able to explain the origin of the magic crystals.

In addition, given his current physical condition, no one would believe that Su Ran could kill a Sequence Two magical beast.

Su Ran still understood the simple principle that possessing a treasure invites disaster.
