My name is Le Jing, and I traverse endless worlds, solely in pursuit of freedom, knowledge, and truth.
Republic Era Arc (Completed):
Q: How does a heavy opium addict who gambles, drinks...
Li Yian stared at the boy who continued to sleep soundly on the table. He felt that there was something wrong with everyone in this class!
Why did your grandma live to be 96 years old? His grandma is only in her 70s! No, that's not the point. The point is that this kid scolded him!
Li Yian's temper flared up immediately. He raised his leg to kick the boy, but the boy's back seemed to open its eyes. Not only did he stand up swiftly to avoid the kick, but he also couldn't pull his leg back in time and hit the table leg hard!
There was a loud bang, and Li Yian let out a scream, then jumped up holding his legs and crying, with tears in his big eyes.
The violent noise Li Yian made naturally attracted the attention of the teacher and the whole class. It should be said that the moment Li Yian sat down next to Chang Jingchen, countless people were secretly looking at them. Even Wang Lei was worried, fearing that this new second-rate young master would bully Chang Jingchen.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent plot development was different from what they imagined.
Chang Jingchen was not only not bullied, he also severely criticized the arrogant second-rate guy. Then the second-rate guy tried to teach Chang Jingchen a lesson but failed, but he lost his foot. Think about how arrogant this big brother was when he first appeared on the stage, but now he is still crying with his legs hugged and his image is completely ruined? Such a funny scene can only be described as a self-inflicted punishment.
To be honest, seeing this second-rate guy holding his leg and crying out in pain, the classmates in the class felt secretly happy. Even though Wang Lei was a teacher, she had to curse him in her heart and say that he deserved it.
Wang Lei shifted her gaze and cleared her throat, "Ahem, class is about to start! Students please be quiet and don't disturb the students in the class."
Li Yian turned a deaf ear to Wang Lei's warning and glared angrily at the boy who had just made him suffer.
At this time, the boy had sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, supporting his face with his left hand and spinning a pen with his right hand, looking extremely leisurely.
Li Yian felt like he was about to explode!
He stared at the calm and ordinary profile, flexed his wrist, and prepared to let this ignorant boy have a taste of the military boxing he had practiced for many years.
Le Jing glanced at Li Yian who was eager to try and sighed. He just wanted to be an emotionless learning machine and had no interest in training children.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
"Have you considered the consequences of hitting me?" The young man kept twirling the pen in his hand and looked at him with squinted eyes. His eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
Li Yian felt a chill on his back. He was just a small-town bumpkin, but the power he exuded made him tremble with fear. Although Li Yian had been naughty, arrogant, impulsive and irritable since childhood, he was not a fool and would never provoke someone he couldn't afford to offend.
His brain, which had been congested since he came to this city, finally calmed down, and his brain finally started to work. Could this kid be a young master from some family?
He remembered that the teacher mentioned his name at that time, it seemed to be Chang something. There was only one family with the surname Chang in their circle...
He asked cautiously, "Who are you to Deputy Minister Chang?"
The young man raised his lips, with subtle malice in his eyes, "What's important is not my identity, but your identity."
"You are obviously a young master from the capital, but you want to come to our school in a remote area to experience life..." He tilted his head, with sticky malice flowing in his eyes, and the smile on his mouth became more and more gentle, "I guess you were exiled here?" Li Yian didn't know what kind of expression he showed, he only saw that the boy smiled more and more brightly, "It seems that I guessed right. You have such a bad personality, maybe this time you were exiled here by your family because you got into trouble in the capital... Wow, looking at your expression, it seems that I guessed right again, you are really understanding."
Li Yian's expression was as cold as ice, his eyes as sharp as knives: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Stop talking nonsense."
"Judging from the temper you've displayed since you entered the class, if I was really talking nonsense you would have beaten me up long ago." The boy looked up at him with a look that contained a sense of knowledge and calmness that everything was under control. It was clearly the boy who was looking up at him, but his gaze gave people the feeling that he was looking down on him from a superior position.
"If you want to return to the capital, you must behave well during your exile. You must not engage in bad behavior such as fighting." The young man stopped spinning his pen. "If you hit me, I will call the police immediately. I might even go to the capital to petition... After all, Hebei Province is very close to the capital."
The boy held the pen, pointed the tip of the pen at Li Yian's head, and asked with a smile: "So, in front of the whole class, when are you going to hit me, Li Yian?"
Under the silent gaze of the whole class, Li Yian's mind went blank and he couldn't help but take a step back. There was a fear in his eyes when he looked at Le Jing that he himself didn't even notice. Suddenly, he felt as confused as if he was trapped in a spider web and couldn't get out.
"Hey, it seems that Li Yian doesn't plan to hit me now." The boy sighed, stood up, stretched out his hand to him, and said with a smile: "Then let's get along with each other for the time being. Come on, let's shake hands and be good friends?"
Li Yian took another step back and looked at Le Jing stretching out his right hand as if he was looking at some terrible monster.
Le Jing took his hand back without feeling embarrassed. He just smiled and said to the teacher and classmates, "I almost forgot. If I go missing or get injured and hospitalized one day, Teacher Wang and classmates, you must remember to call the police for me." He pointed at Li Yian as if jokingly and said with a hearty smile, "Don't forget to tell the police that Li Yian is the most likely murderer because he has a complete motive for committing the crime."
Li Yian: ...
Wang Lei: …
The whole class: ...
Now, it was not only Li Yian who looked at Le Jing with horror.
Even Wang Lei looked at the two of them with a look of surprise and doubt. The development at this time was beyond her understanding, and she didn't know what to say.
In the deathly silence, two voices coming from the last row stood out:
"Okay, then I will tell the police everything I know." Zhao Desheng said gloatingly.
"Okay! When the time comes, I will call the police and report Li Yian immediately!" Wen Wen Zhong said with a clenched fist.
Li Yian turned around and glared at the two fearless boys as if he had seen a ghost, "What does it have to do with me what happens to that boy in the future? Stop putting the blame on me!"
"Okay, Li Yian, stop wasting everyone's time. Hurry up and sit down and listen to the class!" The boy surnamed Chang looked at him with disdain. "You just took up 15 minutes of class time. There are 57 people in the class, so you wasted a total of 855 minutes! Don't you know that wasting time is a crime?"
Li Yian was furious: "You!"
"Don't say that, you are a high school student now, and you should study hard!"
"Ahhhhhhhh, I'm so angry!!!" Li Yian threw his schoolbag to the ground and turned away.
Wang Lei reacted this time: "Hey! We're still in class! What are you doing?!"
Li Yian shouted without even turning his head: "Go home, I'm not going to do it anymore!"
A few seconds later, the classroom was filled with laughter, and every inch of the air was filled with happiness.
Even Wang Lei was a little amused and helpless, but it was no small matter that the young master, whom the principal had specifically asked her to take good care of, left in anger, and she had to tell the principal about it.
"You guys study on your own first!" When Wang Lei hurried out of the door, she could no longer see Li Yi'an. She sighed and planned to tell the principal to find someone else to teach Li Yi'an.
In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had encountered such an unreasonable and lawless student!
Le Jing withdrew his gaze from the window and yawned. Li Yian was too weak, so Le Jing didn't feel any sense of accomplishment after defeating him.
The live broadcast room was flooded with messages because of this refreshing face-slapping scene:
[Bai Shuo: Damn, the anchor is too good, right? ]
[An Jin: Compared to the anchor, the male lead is just a younger brother! ]
[Strolling around: Hahahahahahaha, I'm starting to sympathize with the male protagonist! ]
【24297848: This is the first time I have really witnessed the host's fighting ability. It is really not just a joke. Not only is he good at studying, but he is also very good at fighting! No wonder he was selected and bound by the scumbag-slapping system.】
【Yuan Wei: Didn’t you think the host’s performance just now was very weird and scary?】
【Carp Spirit: ...I also think the anchor is a bit scary_(:з」∠)_】
[Fusu: Am I the only one who thinks the host in the ghostly state is very cool? ! ]
[Fuxiezi: +1, I used to be the host’s mother fan, but now I think I can definitely be a girlfriend fan! ]
【Tiantian: I am a face-lover, and just now for a moment I actually felt that even the host’s face was acceptable to me! 】
[System prompt: Sanluer gave a reward of 888 RMB to anchor Chang Jingchen]
[System prompt: Xiao Hu Mo De's hair gave a reward of 666 RMB to anchor Chang Jingchen]
…
[System prompt: Congratulations to Chang Jingchen for completing a slap in the face of the male protagonist once, and reward 1,000 points. ]
Le Jing's calm expression changed slightly after hearing the 1,000 points rewarded by the system. He didn't expect that the points rewarded for slapping the male protagonist in the face would be so high. He had only been rewarded 100 points for slapping Zhao Desheng in the face before.
And do you know what makes him most satisfied? That is that the male protagonist is a weak boss who can repeatedly brush points! As long as he casually says a few words to him, he can get a high score reward. It's almost like picking up points for free.
The system yelled at the top of its lungs: [Host!! Good news! I have good news for you! Just when you slapped the male protagonist in the face, the highest number of viewers in our live broadcast room has exceeded 300,000! Your number of fans has also reached 80,000! ]
[Host! You are a fucking genius! I have never seen a new anchor as good as you!!! In just 20 days, without any external help, you have already attracted 80,000 fans! The cumulative amount of fans' rewards is 300,000 RMB! You are now ranked fifth on the novice gold list! Host, go for it!!! Blast the chrysanthemums on the top floor!!!]
Le Jing: ...
The exchange ratio between RMB and system points given by the audience is 10:1, which means that 10 RMB can only be exchanged for 1 point. When Le Jing found that the audience thought that the face-changing card priced at 150,000 RMB was very cheap, he realized how severe the RMB inflation would be in the future hundreds of years later.
The money tipped by the audience was converted into points, plus the points he earned from the face-slapping tasks, minus the 15,000 points from the face-changing card, he now has a total of over 20,000 points.
Twenty thousand points may sound like a lot, but a face-changing card costs fifteen thousand points, not to mention that the system mall also sells spaceships for millions or tens of millions of points.
Therefore, Le Jing, whose total assets are only 20,000 points, is an absolute pauper and can only sigh in despair at most of the goods in the mall.
Therefore, besides studying, he can only work hard on live streaming to save money.
Le Jing regretted it a little. If he had known that slapping the male lead once would earn him points equivalent to slapping Zhao Desheng ten times, he would not have been so harsh on the male lead and made him lose popularity. After all, the male lead, Li Yi'an, is a rare sustainable resource!
But the hero should still come back. If he doesn't stay in school, how can he fall in love with the heroine? So the rules of the world will definitely bring him back.
Not long after Li Yian ran away from school, Le Jing decided to use the face-changing card to change his face in response to strong calls from the audience in the live broadcast room.
The system's skin mall face-changing is very smart and user-friendly. Not only can you freely choose the face shape and facial features, you can also make fine adjustments, and you can also get a new hairstyle for free.
Finally, with Le Jing's efforts, the face he created was 80% similar to the one he used in modern times. He stood in front of the full-length mirror provided by the system mall in the consciousness space, and looked at himself, who was familiar yet unfamiliar, carefully.
His bangs covered his straight eyebrows, his phoenix eyes, his amber eyes glowed with coldness, his lips were very thin, and he looked like a naturally cold-hearted person. He pursed his lips and smiled politely, but his smile was fake and cold, just like the distant and cold smile in his eyes.
【Tiantian: !!! !!! Damn, you look so refined when you laugh! You beast in human clothing!!! I love you!!!】
[Fei Chi: I blow up this evil, evil, and sinister man!!! Hey, hey, I declare that I’m in love from today on!]
[Dongfang Buju: It turns out that this world is all about looks!! The host laughed so many times before and I was calm, but he just pulled the corner of his mouth and I couldn't help but scream like a groundhog!!!]
[Yue Xi: …Others started with the looks and fell in love with the talent, but I started with the talent and fell in love with the looks (with mixed feelings)]
[Yu Jingqiu: I declare that the anchor is the new wall-sitter of Ben Yan's homosexuality!!]
[System prompt: Xiao Shuilan gave 1000 RMB to anchor Chang Jingchen]
[System prompt: A bandit gave a reward of 800 RMB to the anchor Chang Jingchen]
[System prompt: Give a reward of 888 RMB to the anchor Chang Jingchen]
…
Le Jing: ...Are you so real, sisters? ? ?
…
…
Li Yian, who roared "Go home, I'm not going to class anymore", walked into the classroom listlessly the next morning.
At that time, the students in the classroom were reciting their lessons. When they saw Mr. Li walking into the room listlessly, they all became quiet. It seemed that there was even a smell of embarrassment floating in the air.
Li Yian was embarrassed and walked to his seat. His schoolbag that fell to the ground yesterday had been picked up and stuffed neatly into his desk drawer. I don't know what's wrong with that kid, he fell asleep on the table early in the morning.
But it was undoubtedly a relief not to have to deal with him.
He was a little hesitant, and wanted to switch back with the fat boy and not sit next to this devil, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He felt that it was too embarrassing, as if he was afraid of this kid.
Le Jing, who was doing the questions, exited the consciousness space at the reminder of the audience in the live broadcast room. When he raised his head, he met Li Yian's tangled and confused gaze.
Li Yian: ...
Le Jing waved to him in a friendly manner: "Hey, good morning."
If this were a cartoon, then Li Yian would have lost all color.
He stared at Le Jing blankly for a while, then all the hair on his body stood up, "Get lost! Why are you still pretending?! Don't think I'm afraid of you! Let's fight one-on-one if you dare! Calling the police is not a heroic act!"
Le Jing pointed at himself, then at him: "I am a weak scholar, and you are muscular." He smiled calmly: "So, do you think I am stupid?"
Li Yian inexplicably felt that what this boy said made some sense.
He asked somewhat aggrievedly: "Then what do you want?!"
Le Jing thought: It’s very simple, just let me slap myself in the face once a day and gain some points.
But that certainly can’t be said.
So he smiled and asked: "Think about it carefully, there is no deep hatred between us, right? So we can coexist peacefully. I sleep on my bed, you play on your bed, isn't it good to keep in touch with each other?"
Li Yian fell into deep thought. Although he felt something was wrong, what this boy said seemed to make sense.
He had just been exiled by his own old man, and was trying his best to behave well and return to Beijing as soon as possible. If he really quarreled with this kid and the old man knew about it, he would be angry and might send him to the northwest to open up wasteland next time (…)
And the most important point, which of course Li Yian was unwilling to admit, was that he was actually a little afraid of this boy.
This guy was too evil. They had only met and exchanged a few words, but he had already stripped him down to his underwear. He also easily found his weak spot to threaten him. This unpredictable scheming really frightened him. He didn't want to be an enemy of such a person.
So he snorted, reluctantly came down the steps that Le Jing handed to him, sat down in silence, and childishly turned his face away from Le Jing, in order to show that he and Le Jing were irreconcilable.
Le Jing smiled indifferently and sank back into his consciousness space to do his homework.
…
…
If you ask Li Yian who he hates the most right now, he will definitely say the three words "Chang Jingchen" with gritted teeth.
Since he was a child, the first person who made him so upset, besides his old man, was Chang Jingchen!
After all, the old man is his biological father, who gave birth to him and raised him. Although he feels aggrieved, he has no choice but to accept it.
But who is Chang Jingchen? !
He had specifically inquired about it! Chang Jingchen's family lived in the nearby steel plant's family compound! His parents were ordinary workers and divorced! They had nothing to do with the Chang family in Beijing! !
Putting aside his family background, this kid's hardware facilities are not as good as his.
Not as tall as him, not as handsome as him, not as strong as him, and not as fashionable as him!
That boy is ugly to begin with, and he wears a tacky, fat dark blue sports school uniform every day. He looks rustic and stupid, not as fashionable as him at all!
...The only redeeming quality is that he is somewhat scheming, but it is just a little cleverness.
If you are ugly, you should study more. But he sleeps in class every day, and his studies are not as serious as his! What makes him most angry is that the teacher doesn't care about him... Well, it's probably because his grades are too bad and the teacher has given up on him.
How dare a passerby like him, who looks ordinary and has a plain family background and can be lost in a crowd, challenge me? Humph, he is just talking nonsense because he doesn't know his identity. If he knew his family background, he would definitely kneel down to him!
If the old man hadn't told him to keep a low profile and not to brag about his background to bully others, he would have told that inexperienced boy long ago and let him open his eyes.
…
The bell for the end of get out of class rang, and Li Yian, who was originally drowsy, suddenly became alert. He stood up lazily and stretched, and when he glanced at Chang Jingchen who was sleeping soundly beside him, his expression froze.
This boy is too sleepy, isn't he? He sleeps all day long, is he a pig?
He finally couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to the person sitting behind him: "Is he like this every day?"
Sitting at the back table was a boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole, with acne all over his face. He looked exactly like Chang Jingchen.
"How's every day?"
"I sleep every day, I don't listen to classes, and I don't study."
"Bamboo Stick" said "oh" and replied calmly: "Anyway, the Immortal can get first place in the exam without attending the class."
Li Yian wondered for a moment if he had forgotten to wear his ears when he went out. "What did you say? First place in the exam? Just because of him?"
"Bamboo Stick" sighed and said earnestly: "I know it's hard for you to believe. It was hard for me to believe it at first. How could there be such a person? Not only is he handsome, but he is also..."
"Wait..." Li Yian interrupted him rudely, pointing at the half of the ordinary passerby's face lying on the table, and asked incredulously: "You said he is handsome?!"
"Yes." Bamboo Stick looked at him strangely and asked confidently, "Isn't he handsome?"
Li Yian was devastated: "...How is he handsome?"
"Is there anything about him that isn't handsome? Look at his big double eyelids and high nose bridge."
Li Yian stared at Chang Jingchen's swollen eyes and flat nose.
"Look at her skin, it's even whiter and more radiant than the beauty in Class 3."
Li Yian stared at Chang Jingchen's rough, dull, acne-covered, and bumpy skin.
"And his temperament is amazing! You can tell at a glance that he is a natural born student... How do you say that word? Yes, elite! You can tell at a glance that he is the future elite of society!"
Li Yian stared at Chang Jingchen, who was lying on the table like a loser.
He suddenly turned around to look at the "bamboo stick" with such a big movement that his neck was almost flashed. He grabbed his collar and roared fiercely: "Are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking tired of living?!"
"Bamboo Stick" was confused: "What the hell are you doing? Are you looking for trouble?"
The dispute between the two naturally attracted the attention of other students in the class. Zhao Desheng, who was chatting and bragging with his classmates at the back desk, came up immediately after seeing this. He patted Li Yian on the shoulder like an elder brother and said in a deep voice: "Can't you talk nicely? Don't make a move!"
Li Yian loosened the collar of "Bamboo Pole Stick", stared into Zhao Desheng's eyes, and asked word by word: "You came at the right time. Let me ask you a question. What do you think Chang Jingchen looks like? Is he ugly?"
Zhao Desheng replied inexplicably: "Although I also dislike that boy, you can't lie with your eyes open. That boy is indeed good-looking, and anyone with eyes can see that."
Li Yian:……? ? ? ! ! !
He asked the other students who were watching, "Do you also think Chang Jingchen is handsome?"
"Yes, what else?"
“It’s really handsome.”
"I think you two are tied for first in our class in terms of looks."
Li Yian was a little desperate: "Am I the only one who thinks that boy is ugly?"
"Yes, that's right, just you."
"Brother, if you have a weak eye, go see an ophthalmologist."
"Dude, do you have an abnormal aesthetic?"
Li Yian was furious. "What's wrong with the people in your class? Why are they so supportive of Chang Jingchen? They formed a group to trick me for him, right?!"
"Enough, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" He sat back angrily, and looking at Chang Jingchen who was soundly asleep, he felt even angrier.
Sleep, you only know how to sleep every day, how can you not sleep to death? ! How can such a lonely and gloomy guy be so popular? Obviously, he, a handsome guy, deserves more love, okay?
He and this class just have a conflict of fate!
Naturally, the conversation between Li Yian and his classmates was reported to Le Jing in detail by the audience in the live broadcast room.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously in his consciousness space and sneered: "System, what's going on? Why does the male protagonist still look at me as a passerby?"
The system replied confidently: [Not only does the male protagonist still look at you as a passerby, but the female protagonist also looks at you as a passerby. This is an adjustment made by the program to ensure that the plot development does not deviate from the direction. Otherwise, what if the female protagonist falls in love with you because you are too handsome and no longer likes the male protagonist? ]
Le Jing: ...
This damn plot again!!!
Le Jing sat up straight, looked sideways at Li Yian who was holding his head and doubting his life, and felt furious.
He said gently: "Don't think about it. With your intelligence, if you could figure it out, you wouldn't have been exiled here by your family."
Li Yian turned his head and glared at him with a look that contained not only anger but also clear disbelief.
Le Jing continued: "The monthly exam will be in three days. How are you studying? If you do poorly, I will have to call your parents."
Li Yian:!!!
He was so angry that he blurted out, "You should worry about yourself. You sleep in class every day and don't study. You will definitely not do as well as me in the exam!"
After he finished speaking, he met the boy's half-smiley gaze, and his mind suddenly calmed down. He finally remembered what the student behind him had just said: "Anyway, the great master can get first place in the exam without attending the class."
He swallowed and almost bit off his tongue in regret.
No, it must be "Bamboo Pole" who deceived him!
It would be unfair if this kid could still get first place in the exam when he sleeps in class every day!
Then, the confidence that Li Yian had worked so hard to build up was destroyed by a very simple math test in class.
Chang Jingchen got 100 points on the test which he finished carelessly in 20 minutes, while he got 70 points on the test which he wrote carefully for a whole class.
Li Yian snatched his paper in disbelief, studied it carefully, and then had to admit that Chang Jingchen was indeed qualified to get 100 points. He could solve all the questions that he couldn't solve, and his solution was simpler than his!
When he thought of the harsh words he had said to Chang Jingchen before, his eyes darkened and a mouthful of blood choked in his throat and couldn't spit out.
Li Yian: ...God wants to destroy me!!!
No matter how reluctant Li Yian was, the day of the monthly exam arrived soon.
He carried his schoolbag with a vicissitudes of life, feeling a sense of tragedy and grandeur, as if the wind was whistling and the Yishui River was cold, and his ambitions were gone and would never return.
He could already imagine Chang Jingchen looking at his barely passing grade and laughing at his ugly face.
…
Le Jing was going crazy.
He didn't expect that the damn world will, in order to maintain the development of the plot, would let him faint from food poisoning in the examination room! !
The system said with a guilty conscience: [Because the plot says that the male lead's grades are better than yours~]
Le Jing was extremely angry, but he calmed down instead.
He had said before that almost everything in the system store was very expensive, but there was one thing that was sold very cheaply in the system store, and that was the technical information that had been successfully developed in this era.
For example, other developed countries have already mastered manned space technology, but China has not yet developed it. All technical data is only sold for 10,000 credits. There are also industrial software technology, semiconductor technology, aircraft engine technology, etc., which are core technologies that China can only sigh in despair due to foreign technology blockades. The price in the system store is not expensive, and the most expensive is only 40,000 to 50,000 credits. Maybe it's because these technologies are already backward technology for future people.
Le Jing's previous plan was to go through systematic learning on his own first, master the basic professional skills, and then study these things.
But now he feels he can't wait that long.
This damn plot challenges his endurance again and again, and challenges his limited patience.
So he decided to break the program as soon as possible in exchange for his freedom and relief.
so--
'System, do you want our live streaming platform to have millions, or even tens of millions, of viewers?'
[?! Of course I did! I dream about it!]
'Then you do as I say.'
So one morning, an email was received on the internal computer of the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"I know you have already had the idea of setting up a secret laboratory to secretly research manned space technology. Maybe I can help you and help you solve the three major problems of space technology, as long as you can find me." Below this paragraph, Le Jing attached a very large attachment - some crucial information about manned space technology.
