Chapter 159

The girl understood what Jiang Yunu meant and replied briefly, "No."

Jiang Yunu's curiosity was piqued again, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what is it...?"

The girl said in a flat tone: "A slacking treasure."

Jiang Yunu: "Hmm?"

The girl had come all the way to talk to her. Although she seemed a little unapproachable, she wasn't bothered by Jiang Yunu's questioning. She took off her glasses, revealing a pair of slightly dull eyes. With an expression as flat as her tone, she handed the glasses to Jiang Yunu.

"You try it," she said.

Jiang Yunu accepted the invitation and gave it a try——

"Wow!" Jiang Yunu exclaimed.

No wonder this pair of glasses is called "the treasure of slacking off". It is not some old-fashioned thick-soled myopic glasses at all. It is a pair of gaming glasses with VR vision!

The girl who approached me always wore glasses to pretend that she was reading a big book, but in fact, she was just playing games!

"This is so fun." Jiang Yunu stared at the game interface on the screen of the glasses. She felt that this should not be a simple VR vision. It might also be equipped with a brain-computer interface, which could allow her to log in to some holographic somatosensory games.

"It makes me happy." The girl said calmly, "That's why I wear it every day in class."

"..." Even Jiang Yunu was silent for a moment. After all, the white-haired girl loved studying very much. She felt that it was a bit wrong to enjoy this kind of happiness in class.

"Don't you want to know why you can't form a team?" The girl has brought the topic back to the starting point.

She repeated the key points to Jiang Yunu: "It's not that they suddenly dislike you or exclude you, they are just afraid that if they are in the same group with you, the eldest daughter of the Nagu family will bear a grudge against them."

Jiang Yunu said, "That young lady has threatened everyone, demanding that they not team up with me, or else they will suffer the consequences."

"No." The girl who took back the glasses said calmly, "Miss Nagu, there is no need to do this."

Jiang Yunu tilted his head slightly to express his doubts.

This gesture seemed to subtly poke a chord with the girl with glasses, causing her to pause while adjusting her glasses. But she continued her explanation in a calm tone, "As long as there are people who vaguely stand in opposition to these 'second-generation' people, and the opposing side clearly lacks a strong background, and their abilities and talents don't make up for their lack of family background, some people will automatically start to take sides."

Jiang Yunu has no money and no power. He was promoted from the seventh district. Although he has won the favor of Teacher Cuishita and is suspected of having the favor of the principal - but what does it matter?

Compared with a young lady born into a local family in the second largest district, the country bumpkin from the backward star district is nothing.

The white-haired girl just sighed after hearing this.

She didn't make any judgment about this "taking sides" and simply said pragmatically, "Teacher Trista didn't say that one person can't form a group. In this case, I can compete against Miss Nagu's group on my own."

The girl who put on her thick-bottomed glasses again paused.

"But this will also cause problems," said the girl.

"Ah?" Jiang Yunu said, "What's the problem with doing this?"

The girl with thick glasses gave people the impression of "low presence and being down-to-earth". Jiang Yunu did not feel any intention from her to spread false information deliberately to confuse the public, or to make fun of her with malicious intent.

She politely asked for help.

As expected, the girl quickly and patiently answered, "You defeated Miss Nagu single-handedly. It seems as if those who 'took sides' deliberately isolated you, but you still managed to turn the tide against all odds, making them 'cannon fodder' who abandoned you for their own protection."

Jiang Yunu: "...but I wouldn't think so."

Jiang Yunu can fully understand and accept the choices of others, and she can also accept not being chosen.

The girl with thick glasses said, "They would think so themselves."

Jiang Yunu herself doesn't care whether others choose her or not, and she doesn't pursue other people's "breaking their promises". However, the one who broke the appointment first cared first. Not only did she not want to offend Miss Nagu, she also didn't want to be the "clown" who abandoned the winner first because Jiang Yunu "formed a team alone and won".

The white-haired girl said, "What a hassle."

The girl with thick glasses agreed with her: "It's really troublesome. These people always want it all. Otherwise, they wouldn't be lining up everywhere all day long."

Jiang Yunu did not judge other people's stance, she just twirled the little white hair on her shoulder.

"I don't really care if I offend more people. There's no difference between offending one person and offending a group of people," Jiang Yunu said. "But I kind of hate trouble. If I want to find teammates right now, who would be willing to team up with me and not be afraid of offending others?"

There was a slight "pop" sound.

The girl with thick glasses closed her large paper book that looked like a prop.

She looked at Jiang Yunuo, her eyes obscured by the thick lenses of her glasses. The sound of closing the book made Jiang Yunuo look at her as well.

She said flatly, "I."

"……Um??"

Jiang Yunu's eyes widened.

She thought this girl was just being kind and passing on information to her, but unexpectedly...it seemed like a teammate had recommended herself?

The girl with thick glasses said again: "I do."

Jiang Yunu looked at her with hopeful eyes: "Really?"

"Really." The girl with thick glasses said, "I actually just want to team up with you...if you're willing."

The other party finally seemed to remember that he still needed to seek Jiang Yunu's opinion and quickly added the last sentence.

Don’t refuse the teammates who come to you!

Jiang Yunu immediately replied: "I am willing too!"

Because the white-haired girl was so happy to have a teammate, her emotions were sincere and her words were full of emotion, which made the team agreement between the two of them solemn for a moment, as if they were making a special bond.

The girl with thick glasses coughed lightly, and said calmly, "That's great."

But Jiang Yunu still had some doubts.

"But why are you willing to team up with me?" She thought about their conversation and felt there was a small logical flaw. "Besides, no matter whether I win or not, those who have chosen a team will still feel resentful. Teaming up with me seems like a bit of a loss."

"Maybe it's like that for others." The girl with thick glasses was calm and pragmatic. She didn't say any nice words to comfort Jiang Yunu.

She said, "Teaming up with me will make you look more capable of winning. I'm a known loser. I can only get a few performance points in class by teaming up with you."

--oh!

It turns out that actively revealing information and recommending oneself are a resource exchange for "classroom performance points".

Jiang Yunu realized that the girl with thick glasses also came for a purpose. She seemed quite interested and didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

After a moment, it was the girl with thick glasses who looked at Jiang Yunu carefully. She took the initiative to ask the white-haired girl, "Don't you think I'm too utilitarian?"

"No." The white-haired girl said as a matter of course.

She gave me a thumbs up and said, "You think you can get ahead by following me and trust me so much? You really have good judgment!"

“…”

Jiang Yunu's reaction indirectly verified the idea of ​​the girl with thick glasses: she did not choose the wrong person from the beginning.

Although her expression was still stern, and her thick glasses covered almost half of her face, she expressed her joy again in a tone that still lacked joy: "That's great."

Jiang Yunu discovered that the students in the second district were all very individual, from Miss Nagu who was born into a prominent family to the new teammates who had a low presence in the classroom - they all didn't like to introduce themselves first.

Both of them came to her first to talk about their matters. It was not until the matter was settled and both sides reached some kind of consensus that she finally had the opportunity to hear the other party's name.

"My last name is Aolai," the girl with thick glasses introduced herself. "My family started out in the secondhand business. We're not considered a prominent family in the Second District. We have money but no power. And I'm known as the loser in the Aolai family. They call me Useless Ape. My name is Pei Ya."

This was the second time Jiang Yunu heard a girl call him a waste.

The first time she heard the other party mention "waste", she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a joking and humble word used by the other party when recommending himself to join a team. But when she heard the other party mention it for the second time, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.

The other party seemed to think from the bottom of his heart that she was indeed a waste.

"How could that be?" Jiang Yunu immediately denied it.

She has always been good at protecting "her own people", which is why she is not very angry when someone targets her personally, but when someone humiliates the Seventh District like Miss Nagu did, she will show her claws.

The white-haired girl launched her first sweet attack at the Golden Uriel Academy: "You are my teammate now. You are not a waste. You are my sweetheart."

Pei Ya: “…”

Ah, that feeling of signing a magic contract when forming a team is back.

Miss Pei Ya, whose surname is Ole, thought silently.

Pei Ya is not an outgoing person. She hardly talks to any classmates at school. She never performs well in class and always wears her thick gaming glasses. She is like an NPC who appears in each classroom at regular intervals, silently serving as part of the background of the classroom scenery.

This was the first time since the start of the school year that she had taken the initiative to talk to her classmates for such a long time.

It was also the first time in a long time that someone listened to what she said patiently instead of ignoring her or interrupting her with a laugh after she spoke.

"Thank you." Pei Ya thanked Jiang Yunu.

But she still had to explain her situation clearly.

"I'm objectively useless," Pei Ya said calmly. "My psychic talent level is displayed as D, but that's the result of someone my mother paid to tamper with it. In reality, I'm at an E level, which basically makes it impossible for me to use my psychic abilities normally."

Pei Ya looked into Jiang Yunu's eyes.

She continued, "I was able to enter Golden Uriel Academy through special admissions, relying on a 'differential score' tailored specifically for me to increase my score significantly. The special admissions program for me was possible because the Ole family donated a large sum of money to the school. The Ole family is one of the school's major investors."

Pei Ya finally told Jiang Yunu, "So, if you and I team up, I really can't help you at all in the elemental skill group confrontation."

After a pause, she said, "I'm sorry."

She kept staring into Jiang Yunu's eyes, as if looking for any sign that he was starting to back down or regretting that the agreement was made too hastily.

But Jiang Yunu listened without blinking, and just looked very focused.

"I understand." Jiang Yunu said, "It's okay, I will help you win."
