Chapter 87 Bet
Ji Pucun's small building is indeed easy to find.
Follow the path to the end, and you'll see it.
It's next to a very special garden.
The garden was surrounded by an exquisite wrought iron fence. Through the gaps, Yan Shi could see that the flower field was actually planted with... foxtail grass?
The small green spikes swayed gently in the breeze.
Before entering the small building, she stood by the garden fence and looked around curiously for a while.
The garden is fully equipped with all the usual garden amenities, such as swings, elegant pavilions, and coffee tables.
What's unusual is that there are no flowers in the flower field, only foxtail grass.
If there weren't no other gardens at the end of this path, Yan Shi wouldn't be able to honestly say that this is a garden.
Just as she was staring inquisitively at the "flower field," the window on the second floor of the small building suddenly opened.
Ji Pucun was standing by the window: "Teacher Yanlan, come up."
Yan Shi: "Director, why aren't there any flowers planted in this garden?"
As he spoke, he pretended to reach into the fence, as if he wanted to touch the foxtail grass to see if it was real.
Ji Pucun's expression suddenly tensed as he watched Yan Shi reach into the fence, and his voice rose sharply: "Don't touch it!"
She belatedly realized that she had overreacted, and softened her tone: "Teacher Yanlan, let's go upstairs and talk."
Yan Shi raised his eyebrows, finding it amusing. He withdrew his hand, which he hadn't really intended to touch the grass, and slowly walked into Ji Pucun's small building.
The building has a simple structure. The first floor is a spacious hall, with a spiral staircase on each side leading to the second floor.
The marble floor shimmered under the lights, making the entire space appear exceptionally bright.
Yan Shi went up to the second floor.
Ji Pucun had already returned to normal, sitting at the table by the window drinking coffee.
"Please sit down." She gently gestured to the chair opposite the table.
The chair was pulled out by the spirit, positioned for easy sitting, while a set of porcelain cups automatically flew out of the cabinet and landed neatly on the table.
"Teacher Yanlan, what would you like to drink?"
Yan Shi: "I want to drink the Super Family Portrait Milk Tea."
"50% sugar, no ice, please."
Ji Pucun: ...?
Her lips twitched slightly. "Only milk and coffee. Teacher Yanlan, which would you like?"
Yan Shi pouted: "You're the one who asked me what I wanted to drink. How did it suddenly turn from a fill-in-the-blank question into a multiple-choice one?"
"Okay, I'll have milk. Can I have it thicker with coconut jelly?"
Another bottle of milk flew out of the cabinet, automatically flew to the table, filled Yan Shi's cup, and then flew back to the cabinet in one smooth motion.
Ji Pucun tapped his finger again, and the milk began to steam.
“No,” she smiled. “Only hot milk.”
Yan Shi also lightly tapped the milk cup with her fingertips, and Shui Ling, as she wished, attached it to the outside of the cup.
Almost instantly, the steaming milk cooled down, and a thin layer of frost even floated on the surface.
The coolness traveled through the cup to her palm, bringing a unique refreshing sensation.
Yan Shi: "Unfortunately, I prefer iced milk more."
Ji Pucun didn't make another move, but instead asked very directly, "Teacher Yanlan, what do you want to ask me?"
Yan Shi leaned back lazily in her chair, her fingertips lightly tapping the rim of her cup, the milk swaying from side to side with her movement: "Director, why did Zhan Zhou move to the Outer World 21 years ago?"
Ji Pucun suddenly stopped moving and stared sharply at Yan Shi: "Why are you asking this?"
Yan Shi said casually, "Oh, I'm just curious."
Ji Pucun: "This is not a question you should be asking. It would be more reasonable for Director Yan of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs to ask you this."
Yan Shi chuckled lightly: "What is there that my sister can know but I can't?"
Ji Pucun's heart sank.
Yanlan was actually a relative of Director Yan, and was even Director Yan's sister.
She gazed at Yanlan for a long time.
Because of her aggressive nature, Yanlan often makes people overlook the fact that she actually has a very bright and cheerful appearance.
Her appearance doesn't possess a traditional sense of aggression; it's just that Yan Lan's personality makes her seem dangerous and mysterious.
But in this context, it is particularly oppressive.
Yan Lan smiled and looked up directly at Ji Pucun.
Ji Pucun calmed down: "How much do you know now?"
The fact that Yanlan was able to ask this question directly suggests that she had already made a judgment in her mind.
Yan Shi's lips curled up slightly: "For example, the day after Zhan Zhou moved to the surface world, Director Shan resigned?"
“You’ve been to the third floor of the library,” Ji Pucun said definitively.
These are all considered secrets of the Bureau of Unorthodox Management. Even Ji Pucun could not see the bookshelf related to the Bureau of Unorthodox Management; he only knew that it existed.
All permissions of Zhanzhou Library are determined by the library itself and are unrelated to the college.
It seems that Director Yan has granted special privileges to his sister.
Yan Shi: "So? Director, please explain in detail?"
Ji Pucun chuckled, "Nothing special. I made a legal agreement about this matter, so I can't say anything."
law?
Yan Shi is familiar with this.
She casually uttered a spell: "God says, this place is forbidden."
The law responds, the law restrains itself, the law is dizzy and confused.
The rules have decided to disregard this.
After the slight feeling of being watched disappeared, Yan Shi looked at Ji Pucun again: "There are no more rules now."
Ji Pucun: ...
She now understood why Lu Jian had kept quiet about Yan Lan.
I never expected that Director Yan would be so indulgent towards Yan Lan.
The spells are answered instantly.
That darn siscon.
Ji Pucun finally spoke: "The entire Zhanzhou Floating Island is based on the Throne of Death."
"This is the only thing I know; you'll have to ask the principal for more information."
The Death Throne?
Another unfamiliar word.
While Yan Shi was still wondering what this was, Ji Pucun's next sentence followed immediately.
Yan Shi's lips twitched.
She didn't believe that Ji Pucun only knew that much.
Isn't she just threatening her with the principal?
It doesn't matter, if Ji Pucun has the guts, let him fight her.
Yan Shi: "Director, is there anything else?"
She tried to take some more out.
"It's not good to only leave some parts of your speech unsaid; it can easily lead to retaliation."
For example, she might retaliate against you.
Ji Pucun smiled and said, "You can go to the second floor of the library and take a look."
Yan Shi: "Second floor of the library?"
Ji Pucun: "Or just ask Director Yan directly."
She guessed that Director Yan probably knew, but couldn't say so.
To satisfy Yanlan's curiosity without spoiling her fun, Yanju arranged for Yanlan to come to Zhanzhou.
To reiterate, Ji Pucun hates those who are obsessed with their sisters.
Yan Shi: ...
She was Director Yan, but she didn't know it...
The whole world thinks I know, but I don't.jpg
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Yan Shi said, "Alright, I'll come to visit the director again the day after tomorrow."
At least Ji Pucun provided direction and keywords.
Yan Shi plans to go to the library again tomorrow.
If you can't find the answer, then come back to try again the day after tomorrow.
Instead of letting yourself get confused, shift the pressure and resolve it completely.
What Ji Pucun thought was beyond Yan Shi's consideration.
I heard Yanlan is coming again, Ji Pucun: !
This wasn't a visit; it raised her blood pressure.
She began to consider the possibility of a business trip in the near future.
"Teacher Yanlan, you should prepare for the start of the new semester first. Have you finished your lesson plans?"
Yan Shi blinked: "I'm writing it. I promise, it's a very well-thought-out lesson plan."
It was personally written by the Director of the Executive Division of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Sheng Chunqiu is also an outstanding graduate of Zhanzhou, so writing lesson plans should be a piece of cake for him.
Yan Shi stood up. "Director, I'll be going now."
Ji Pucun nodded and, after Yanlan went downstairs, stood inside the window looking at the small garden outside.
He let out a deep sigh.
---
I'm lost again.
Yan Shi remained silent.
She discovered that Zhan Zhou's map had more than one problem.
This is an absolutely despicable map.
She came out of Ji Pucun's small building and was supposed to walk back to her classroom apartment along the path.
I never imagined that the route through Zhan Zhou would change according to different times.
When I went outside, the path was gone.
Not only was the path gone, but when they turned back, Ji Pucun's small building was also gone.
This was absolutely Ji Pucun's revenge.
Yan Shi thought angrily.
After leading her around in circles, the Magic Pigeon Navigation system has now completely lost her.
Yan Shi looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
They've moved to the arena.
She hadn't noticed it when dusk came, but now that she looked up, she saw a large notice screen above the arena entrance.
At this moment, Lin Cai's name was prominently displayed on the first row of the notice board.
Bold and black.
What is this?
Yan Shi looked at it curiously.
Real-time ranking list for the grade president election.
Lin Cai is the top student in this year's first grade.
His record is 100% with a perfect 36-0 record.
Yan Shi: ?
She approached the arena and looked up at it carefully again.
Yes, that's right, it's about Lin Cai.
Eastern magic system.
Right below Lin Cai was another familiar name: Libertas Lorenz.
His record is 52 wins out of 53 matches, a winning percentage of 98.1%.
It should be considered a very high win rate, but it pales in comparison to Lin Cai's 100%.
This list appears to be ordered by win rate.
How come Lin Cai's win rate is so high?
Yan Shi looked at the other grades on the notice board with some doubt.
The top scorer in second grade had a 95.7% win rate, in third grade it was 92.8%, and in fourth grade it was 96.3%...
Of the seven grades, the highest win rate was achieved by Chu Mengfu in fourth grade, but it wasn't 100%.
Libertas, who is second in the first year, already has the highest win rate among all grades.
Yan Shi didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Didn't Lin Cai work at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs this summer?
When did you begin studying Eastern magic?
Is this the protagonist of a shonen manga?
Just as Yan Shi was standing in front of the notice board questioning her life, several students walked past her, having a heated discussion as they went.
"Hurry up, Lin Cai and Lorenz are already on the stage."
"I reckon the top ten rankings will be decided after this match."
"Yes, if Lin Cai wins, she will be the undisputed number one in this year's first year, and Lorenz will likely drop to third place."
"Lorenz can't help but challenge Lin Cai. All the other top ten students this year have lost to Lin Cai. She probably still wants to compete for the top spot among the first-year students."
"That's true. If Lorenz wins, her winning percentage will be less than 0.1% higher than Lin Cai's."
"That Lin Cai is outrageous. It seems like there has never been a completely victorious new student before Zhan Zhou."
"She's even from the outer world. Did we study the same Eastern magic system?"
Lin Cai and Libertas are about to start their match?
Yan Shi suddenly became interested and stopped looking for the teachers' apartments first, instead heading towards the arena.
The arena was bustling with activity. Many small arenas that had been divided up were now merged into medium-sized arenas.
Lin Cai and Libertas were even easier to find.
Countless students surrounded a ring, their expressions excited, so dense that it was impossible to squeeze in.
It's very popular.
Yan Shi climbed a few steps, passing a large group of students, and looked towards the center of the arena.
Lin Cai and Libertas stood to the side, with Adelaide and Chu Mengfu next to them, each saying something.
Why are there so few people on these steps?
Yan Shi withdrew his gaze and looked at the sign next to the steps.
Teachers' stands.
Her eyes lit up, and she went up to them.
Students couldn't get into the teachers' stands, so only a few teachers were scattered around, leaning against the railings, all quite interested in watching the game.
Although I was a bit far from the ring, I could still see the situation clearly.
Yan Shi also found a place to lean against the railing.
It hasn't started yet.
On the stage, Lin Cai's smile remained bright, showing no sign of tension.
Libertas then took the greatsword off his back and was now wiping the blade.
Suddenly, a strange voice came from behind Yan Shi.
"Teacher Yanlan, would you like to make a bet with me on who will be the top student in the first year?"
Author's Note: Yan Shi: Law, tell me the truth, did you give Lin Cai a cheat code?
