CH 115.1

“Let me introduce myself, from today onwards, I will be the class teacher of the inferior class. My surname is Zhao, you can call me Teacher Zhao.”

“I will now briefly explain your work and rest system.”

“You must wake up by 6:00 a.m.”

“At 6:15 everyone will gather downstairs to do ‘exercises’.”

“Lunch will be served at 7:00, morning study is at 7:30, and the first class is at 8:10.”

“The curriculum at Wensong High School is not only in mathematics, foreign languages, there are also the comprehensive and literary arts, and other quality courses such as music and art.”

“Every three days, the school conducts random examinations in one or three subjects.”

“At the end of each exam, the school will reassign classes based on the results of all students, with clear rewards and penalties.”

“On the 18th day, there will be a mock test which will cover all subjects.”

“At the end of the exams, there will be a final allocation of classes. Wensong High School does not keep idle people, let alone losers. Students who are still in the inferior classes will be separated from the school at that time.”

“That means they will be dismissed from school.”

“What will happen to the dropouts?”

The teacher with black-framed spectacles was standing at the podium and talking about the rules of the school when he was interrupted by a voice.

He suddenly stopped talking, and his dark eyes hidden behind the dark glasses stared at the place where the voice was coming from.

The question was asked by a player in the front row. On seeing the teacher’s eerie black pupils, the player gulped and quickly lowered his head.

The teacher’s eyes were very frightening, except for the outer circle of white, the inner pupils were pure black without a trace of light.

The pupils of the eyes were so large that they covered almost the entire eye socket.

The huge pair of pupils looked over as if they were staring at something unclean.

Teacher Zhao’s lifeless eyes glanced at the man indifferently before he answered in his characteristic deadpan voice, “Withdraw and get the hell out of the school.”

Another player cried out in fear, “But aren’t there monsters out there? You mean you’re going to feed us to the monsters?”

Teacher Zhao frowned, “We are only responsible for dismissing you from the school, what you encounter outside has nothing to do with us.”

“Am I being too nice to you? Don’t you know what it means to respect your teachers?”

Outside the window, a cold wind blew in, ruffling the curtains.

Above the blackboard was a clock.

The clock was still moving, and at the moment, it fell just short of the 9:00 mark.

The shrill sound of the bell suddenly rang out and Teacher Zhao, who was about to open his mouth, suddenly paused and waited until the bell ended before he continued in his emotionless voice, “From now on, you must raise your hand if you have any questions and no student may interrupt the teacher.”

“The first lesson you will get is the School Rules and Regulations.”

“The two students who spoke up earlier have each broken school rules and would have been disciplined at once.”

“As today is your first day at school and you have not yet studied the School Rules and Regulations, I will not punish you for the time being.”

“But if there is a next time, you will be punished by the teacher.”

Teacher Zhao looked around the class below and nodded in satisfaction when he saw the fearful expressions. “Although you are starting lower than the students in other classes, it doesn’t mean that you will always be inferior students.”

“As long as you study hard, you can really make a comeback.”

“I have seen many such examples.”

“Adherence to the School Rules and Regulations is the single most important rule in our school, and no one is allowed to break the rules.”

The wind outside the window blew again, and this time, the fan spun a little as the wind blew, and the rusty blades immediately made an ear-splitting creaking sound.

The fan, with its three blades, was hanging precariously, as if it was about to fall down in the next moment.

Teacher Zhao coughed lightly, “Before we begin, let’s get to know each other.”

His gaze swept around the desks and landed on the student in the first row and on the far left. “Let’s start with you, from left to right, front to back, introduce yourselves.”

Bai Lixin looked at the student. It was actually the player with glasses who had previously exchanged 30x the points for an acceleration card.

The player was a little nervous and he tugged at the corner of his shirt in a timid manner, “Well, hello everyone. I… My name is Wang Xiaoming, I was 20 years old when I entered the game, and I’m now on level 51.”

“Please…please play, ah no, learn well.”

With Wang Xiaoming starting off, the rest of the players started introducing themselves in turn.

It was soon Bai Lixin’s turn.

The moment Bai Lixin stood on the podium, gasps rang out across the room.

Fuck, what kind of extreme good looks were these!

This was too good looking, right?

Was there really such a good-looking person in the world?

Even Teacher Zhao, who had always been indifferent, couldn’t help but look at Bai Lixin twice more.

Bai Lixin smiled, “My name is Bai Lixin, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently on the 185th floor.”

There was another round of gasps in the air.

Before Bai Lixin, 23 players had already introduced themselves. Most of these players were on the lower floors and the highest was only at the 60th floor, there was no one over the 100th floor.

In fact, it made sense when you think about it.

Most of the novice players do not have that many points to strengthen themselves or buy prop cards, so the players on the higher floors had an inherent advantage during the run to the gate.

This was also why the students in this class were incredibly anxious.

Because they had already lost at the starting line.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief.

185th floor and he was second to last?

Was he such a waste? How on earth did he climb up to the 185th floor?

He was so good looking, he couldn’t have gotten up there by relying on his face and hugging thighs, could he?

Bai Lixin didn’t care what the other players thought, he was only curious about one person in this pile of people.

That person who was right after him.

The man wore all white, had two extremely long pairs of legs, and the simple pair of white trousers looked high end when on him.

The man stood on the podium and there was another round of gasps in the air.

Crap, another handsome man ah.

Our class may have poor grades, but our face value must be the highest in the three classes!

These two alone have raised the ceiling of our class’ face value.

The ceiling? No, they are in the atmosphere.

The man’s dark eyes seemed to fall on Bai Lixin as he spoke. “My name is Su Fan, I’m 22 years old and on the 45th floor.”

He paused, and his eyes met with Bai Lixin’s who had looked over, and he continued, “Please take care of me.”

Bai Lixin withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering a little.

“According to your enrollment results, Wang Xiaoming, the first in the class, will be the class leader during these three days.” After Su Fan had walked to the furthest seat and sat down, Teacher Zhao reopened his mouth, “There are 20 minutes left in this class, so you guys can learn by yourselves.”

“As the headTeacher said, both class A and class B have teachers and as the inferior class, you can only rely on yourself to learn. I am only responsible for monitoring and disciplining you.”

“The head of the class has a separate place to sit by himself, the rest will sit according to the ranking.”

“I will now go and fetch your uniforms,” said Teacher Zhao as he walked to the rickety classroom door and pulled it open, “before I come back, I hope to find you seated according to your school numbers. Also, no one is allowed to leave this classroom for any reason until I return.”

The classroom door closed, and through the windows of the corridor, the players clearly heard the sound of Teacher Zhao’s leather shoes stomping on the tiled floor and fading away.

Only when the sound had completely disappeared at the end of the corridor did the players let out a long sigh of relief.

A girl in jeans spoke up, “What should we do next? Change seats?”

“Isn’t that better?” Wang Xiaoming, who had just been promoted to class monitor, spoke up, “There’s no telling what would happen in case Teacher Zhao comes back and finds that we haven’t changed our seats yet.”

“Okay, I agree.”

“Me too.”

The changing of seats got the unanimous consent of the class.

Bai Lixin was already sitting on the far end and didn’t even have to move at all.

Only his deskmate changed from Liang Xi to Su Fan.

The dull dragging sound of tables and chairs kept ringing around, interspersed with players’ complaints.

“18 days, why is this new copy so long? It’s terrible.”

“This Teacher Zhao is terrible, he says we can counterattack but how can it be that? We don’t have a teacher ah!”

“Class A and class B were already winning at the starting line, and now class A is getting a higher level of education than us, so what can we do to compare with them?”

“Even if we don’t compete with class A, we can’t compete with class B.”

“We were losing from the starting line, fuck, isn’t this dooming us to food for those monsters on day 18?”

“I feel horrified when I think of that scene where the monster swung the player by his intestines, it was so scary.”

“Aren’t you overthinking it? Day 18? I don’t think I’ll even live to day 18. The monsters are a problem outside the school, ah. Have you forgotten the system, this is a supernatural copy, don’t you think there are monsters inside the school?”

“Brother, don’t scare people, I’m timid.”

A player in a white shirt suddenly asked, “By the way, which one of you still has a mobile phone?”

“I have one here, what’s wrong?”

“I’ve got one too.”

“Me too.”

“Why do you ask?”

The player in the white shirt took a deep breath and said mysteriously, “Don’t you want to know if there are any ghosts around or something?”

“I’ve seen it in paranormal movies, turn on your cameras and scan the area. If you find a blank spot, there’s probably something unclean in that spot.”

“If you focus your camera on that spot for a long time.…” the player in the white shirt suddenly shivered. “Hiss, it’s creepy.”

“Short term pain is better than long term pain, why don’t you guys try it?”

A player swallowed nervously, but still raised his phone tremblingly.

When all the players saw this, they stopped talking and moving as well, nervously waiting for the results.

The player holding up his phone scanned the classroom carefully, not even sparing the top of his head.

It was only when all of it was scanned that he let out a deep breath, “Nope, there’s nothing, looks like the classroom is safe for now.”

The player in the white shirt continued to speak, “Or the supernatural only appear in the dark? There’s nothing in the classroom but what if it’s outside in the corridor?”

The player holding the phone, “Tch, I wouldn’t dare go outside in the corridor, the teacher won’t even let me.”

“Brother, although the short term pain is better than the long term pain, it is better to live than to die. You go on your own.”

While the players were chatting, Bai Lixin was not idle either.

He sat in his seat and slowly surveyed the classroom that looked like a haunted house.

It was actually a very ordinary classroom with a blackboard and notice in front, and you could see some of the notices that were covered.

[Gear up for the college entrance exams!]

[Be the pride of Wensong High School!]

[Countdown to the college entrance exam xx days!]

[Go! Go! Go!]

But these inspiring notices were covered underneath, and on top of them was colorful graffiti.

Like the graffiti in the corridor, the blackboard was covered with portraits of people.
