Chapter 5 You're Not Even Worthy of Licking Shoes
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to take the exam."
The homeroom teacher pressed on, "Exam? What exam? The school hasn't organized any competitions recently, and even if there were, they wouldn't let seniors participate!"
Lin Xi lowered her head and thought about it. She was still confident that she could pass the written test of "Extreme Survival". After passing the written test, there would be several rounds of selections, and she was afraid that she would need to take many leaves.
And the entire selection process will be broadcast live.
Once the live broadcast comes out, she will be exposed to the public eye.
Almost all of their classmates are loyal fans of "Extreme Survival", so it is impossible for them to remain unknown.
Thinking of this, she simply raised her head and said, "Teacher Yu, I'm going to take the written test for "Extreme Survival."
The students watching nearby all widened their eyes.
"What?" Teacher Yu's voice changed, and then his face was full of anger. "Aren't you just kidding? There's only a month left before the college entrance examination. Why are you still wasting your time on useless things?"
"Don't think you can relax just because you're doing well in your studies. You were only ninth in the class in the last monthly exam, barely making it to a key university. I'm telling you, if you keep going like this, you'll have no chance of getting into a key university..."
Teacher Yu talked incessantly, spit flying everywhere. From beginning to end, Lin Xi lowered her eyes, her face calm, and she didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the bell rang that Teacher Yu waved his hand with a look of regret, "Go to class. This time, forget it. Don't miss classes without reason in the future."
Lin Xi returned to her seat. Her deskmate Zhu Tingting kept winking at her, but she didn't dare to say anything because of the teacher at the podium.
The class finally ended, and Lin Xi was packing up. Zhu Tingting came over and asked eagerly, "Are you really signing up for 'Extreme Survival'?"
Lin Xi nodded and picked up the meal card. "Let's go eat."
Zhu Tingting caught up with her and asked in confusion, "Why did you participate in that? Just to appear on TV?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "No, I did it for other reasons."
Zhu Tingting muttered, "What's the reason? It can't be because of the signing bonus, right?"
Lin Xi murmured "hmm" vaguely. At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the side. "Hahahaha, this is the funniest joke I have heard this year."
Lin Xi turned around and glanced at her lightly. It was a girl named Liu Yuan, who sat behind her and was the one in their class who loved to spread gossip the most. Lin Xi had an average relationship with her.
As expected, Liu Yuan shouted at the top of her voice, "There's a genius in our class, and he's even trying to get the signing bonus for 'Extreme Survival'."
As we all know, only players who represent a country can get the signing bonus. Even with a population of over one billion, China only has two places for the competition every year.
These two are undoubtedly the best selected through layers of screening.
And now, a seventeen-year-old high school student is making such outrageous remarks, wanting to get the signing bonus.
Do you look down on the more than one billion people in the Flower Country?
At this time, Lin Xi had just walked to the playground downstairs. The senior high school students were walking towards the cafeteria in groups of three or four. Liu Yuan's voice was so loud that everyone nearby looked over.
Some whispered, "Who is it?"
Liu Yuan nodded towards Lin Xi and said, "Here, Lin Xi, the beauty of our class."
Someone whispered, "Is she out of her mind?"
"Who does she think she is?"
"Why join? To get beaten?"
"That's right, such a beautiful face, don't ruin it, hahaha."
Zhu Tingting turned around and glared at these people fiercely. Lin Xi pulled her away quickly.
After getting their meal, Lin Xi and Zhu Tingting found a table to sit down and eat. The students coming and going, as well as some classmates sitting around them, all cast strange looks at them. It was obvious that this explosive news had spread everywhere by now.
They looked at Lin Xi as if she was a lunatic, as if Lin Xi had suddenly turned into a monster they didn't recognize.
Lin Xi, however, seemed not to notice the gazes around her and ate calmly.
Suddenly, Zhu Tingting, who was sitting opposite her, raised her head and stared blankly at the back of Lin Xi.
A short-haired girl was walking closer with a tray of food in her hand, her eyes fixed on the back of Lin Xi's head. Behind her were several other girls who were swaying their shoulders as they walked.
Zhu Tingting's face changed drastically, and she whispered, "Lin Xi—Xu Nan is coming—"
Xu Nan is the big sister in the school. She usually takes a few bad girls with her to bully classmates and show off her power.
Lin Xi didn't even raise her head, just said "hmm".
Xu Nan walked over and placed his plate heavily in front of Lin Xi, causing the juice inside to splash out.
Lin Xi quickly reached out and blocked a drop of oil that almost splashed onto her clothes.
Then she pulled out a piece of tissue and slowly wiped the back of her hand.
Xu Nan crossed his arms, looked at Lin Xi with a squint, and snorted, "Get out of here, I want to sit here."
Zhu Tingting on the opposite side turned pale and whispered, "Lin Xi, let's go over there."
Lin Xi waved at her. Xu Nan was here to cause trouble. Even after giving up her seat, she still wanted to cause trouble.
She looked up at Xu Nan and said calmly, "Can I ask how I offended you?"
A long-haired girl behind Xu Nan immediately shouted, "How dare you ask? Our sister Nan's cousin represented Flower Country in 'Extreme Survival' last year. Don't you know that? Trash like you, unfit to lick our sister Nan's cousin's shoes, how can you possibly sign up for the competition?"
Lin Xi gave her a cold look and said, "What kind of logic is that? What does it have to do with you whether I participate or not?"
Xu Nan is arrogant and domineering at school, and her family has some influence. She bullies whoever she wants, and no one dares to resist her.
In her eyes, Lin Xi was seeking death if he dared to speak to her like that.
She twisted the corner of her mouth into a mocking smile, then grabbed the plate on the table and threw it at Lin Xi's head.
Lin Xi had already moved when her shoulder moved slightly and her arm was not even raised.
No one saw how she moved, especially Xu Nan. She clearly put her plate down on Lin Xi's head, and suddenly, there was no one sitting there.
The dinner plate fell on the seat with a clang, and Lin Xi was already standing on the other side of the table with her own plate.
She looked at Xu Nan's chest with a playful smile on her lips.
Xu Nan stood where he was, and following Lin Xi's gaze, he looked down at his blue and white school uniform.
There were countless oil spots on the school uniform, especially the white area on the chest, which was covered with several yellow oil stains.
The sound of the stainless steel plate hitting the chair attracted the attention of the students in the cafeteria.
Seeing that it was Xu Nan who was causing trouble, everyone observed a moment of silence for this unlucky guy.
Lin Xi tilted her head towards Zhu Tingting, who was still sitting there stupidly, and pointed at another table, "Come sit over here."
Zhu Tingting quickly got up and went over.
Lin Xi put down her plate and continued eating. Xu Nan looked at her eating as if nothing had happened, then looked down at himself, his face flushed for a moment.
Especially when she heard someone giggling not far away.
Xu Nan glanced around and saw that everyone had serious expressions, and she didn't catch who was making fun of her. Xu Nan was so angry that she walked around to Lin Xi and slapped her in the face.
