Chapter 40 I Want to Be a Salted Fish



"Don't panic when something happens. Think first about whether you can get a 0 in your academic performance tonight."

Song Yu stood on the playground, looking at the scene in front of him where his classmates were commanding their contracted beasts in a fierce 1v1 battle, and he couldn't help but think about it over and over again in his mind.

"Getting a perfect score in the Beast Taming Practical Course isn't a big deal. As long as I get zeros in the other two, no one can stop me from getting into the bottom few!"

"But... it's so hard to get a zero in the academic subjects. Unless you leave the paper blank, there are so many multiple-choice questions that even if you write randomly, you can't get a zero."

Song Yu's face turned pale. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about handing in a blank paper...

Honestly, if she could, she would have handed in a blank paper tonight. But Song Yu felt that if she dared to hand in a blank paper tonight, her homeroom teacher, Zhou Tao, would have to call Song Wenhai and his wife, and she would have to stay in the hospital tomorrow.

So this definitely won’t work!

I want to be a salted fish, not live in a mental hospital for the rest of my life.

For parents, it doesn’t matter if their children don’t do well in exams; they can even say it’s because they have a poor memory.

But if you hand in a blank paper in the exam, that’s a problem of attitude.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just take the cultural exams one step at a time." Song Yu racked his brains, but he had no idea what to do that night to ensure that he would be 100% sure to be among the bottom 23 in the class.

The entire morning's beast taming competition had nothing to do with Song Yu.

She was even chased out of the examination room by Zhang Guoping, Zhou Ting and others like a fly, using the excuse that the examination room was crowded and her standing there would easily affect the mood of other candidates.

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu was speechless. However, Zhang Guoping was the leader in the Beast Taming Practical Class, and she didn't want to stay in the stadium, a sad place, all the time. So she brushed off the non-existent dust on her body and walked away from the playground.

There was no one in the classroom, and I was chased away when I went to the playground.

Song Yu thought about it, turned around and strolled to the school canteen.

The school canteen in the alien version was similar to the canteens she had seen before. The only difference was that there were more students in a middle school, so the canteen was larger. There were all kinds of expensive and cheap snacks, and it looked no different from a supermarket.

A middle-aged couple was in charge of the store selling snacks.

There are also two contracted beasts of the middle-aged couple, a small wind-type spirit cat that likes to squat on the shelves every day and watch students coming and going to buy snacks, and a golden-winged owl that has learned to count and collect money and does not like to sleep during the day.

"Hey, is that Xiao Song? What do you want to buy today?"

There were not many people around early in the morning, and the owner of the convenience store was very relaxed. When she saw Song Yu's familiar face, she immediately greeted him.

"I want a piece of white chocolate, a bag of spicy strips, and a bottle of iced cola!" Song Yu smiled. Seeing his favorite snacks, even his originally depressed mood brightened a little.

While paying, she wanted to touch the little head of the golden-winged owl.

The shop owner and his family do not have a very high talent for taming beasts.

Therefore, after so many years after the contract with the beast, the contracted beast is still in its infancy, and its size is many times smaller than Qiuqiu.

Song Yu looked at the proprietress's golden-winged owl with some envy. Seeing that the owl cub was very resistant to her touch, he quickly reached out and handed it a bag of beef jerky, and said that he would pay for it to eat.

Fifteen minutes later...

Song Yu paid for two bags of beef jerky and petted the two cats of the convenience store owner, and only then did Shi Shiran return to Class 5 with the snacks.

Compared to the daily intense battle classes, petting cats and eating snacks is more suitable for her.

I rolled it for more than 20 years in my previous life, but I really can’t roll it anymore in this life.

Song Yu felt that even if a butcher's knife was placed on her neck in this life, she would die of hunger.

The Beast Taming Battle Class exams were very quick.

Even though there were more than 70 students in Class 5 who needed to take the battle test, after each person had fought three times, it was not yet 12 noon when the group returned to the classroom.

After a short break after lunch, all the students in Class 3 headed straight to the indoor stadium.

The familiar indoor stadium is now packed.

Song Yu took a quick look and what caught his eye was a large group of black heads.

Zhou Tao, holding a microphone, stood on one of the stages and shouted, "This exam is a physical fitness competition! Just like the beast taming competition this morning, except for those students who don't have a contracted beast, who will be deemed to have automatically forfeited their place in the wilderness area practical class, the remaining students will all participate in three rounds of competition!"

"In each match, the winner gets 33 points, and the loser gets 0 points! Winning three rounds in a row gets the full score of 100!"

"If any examinee is injured during the exam, there will be no school doctor to treat you!"

"Once the school doctor is called in for treatment, the candidate will be deemed to have given up the exam!"

Zhou Tao spoke so loudly that everyone in the indoor stadium could hear him clearly.

However, precisely because they could hear it clearly, these words immediately made many candidates present frown, and some even lowered their voices to discuss it on the spot.

Zhou Ting frowned and lowered her voice to Song Yu, saying, "No wonder Teacher Zhou and the others told us last week that the assessment would be held in three days. It turns out there was a trap waiting for us here."

Unlike exotic beasts, humans' physical fitness and recovery ability are far inferior to those of contracted beasts.

If the school had informed them in advance that there would be an exam today, many students would definitely come in advance with healing medicine just in case.

But the school suddenly announced the exam, catching everyone off guard, and it was impossible for many people to carry expensive medical medications with them.

Unlike the slow treatment on Earth, this world has many magical elixirs. Although some healing medicines cannot instantly heal seriously injured patients, there are still many elixirs that can instantly restore physical strength and relieve the pain of injuries.

"Not allowing treatment during exams means that, in addition to defeating our opponents, the school also wants us to learn to assess the situation...to prevent situations where we win the first round and then become exhausted in the next two rounds."

Zhou Ting pondered this seriously, her face settling into a stone. "It seems we need to conserve our energy for the next exam and avoid direct battles with those powerful students. Otherwise, we won't be able to fight three rounds in a row..."

In fact, they only need to win two games in this exam to surpass 30% of their classmates!

In the past physical combat classes, students often suffered broken ribs, broken arms, and other injuries due to fighting.

Without a school doctor to treat them, once a fracture occurs, they will completely lose their combat effectiveness.

Unless you have absolute strength and super physical fitness, the most important thing for ordinary students in this exam is to know how to make choices.

Zhou Ting carefully considered the next tactics.

I was muttering to myself, what should I do if I encounter a tall and strong classmate, what should I do if I encounter an extremely fast opponent...

Song Yu, alone, looked at the black heads that filled the stadium, then at the nervous classmates around her. She took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed half a piece into her mouth. The sweet, milky white chocolate melted in her mouth. Song Yu looked at Zhou Tao, who had already started reading out the names of the opponents on the stage, and put the chocolate back into her pocket without a care.

No matter what, she is sure to get 0 points in this physical test!

As for tactics or no tactics, or whether to make choices or not, what does it have to do with her, a useless person?

Song Yu felt extremely relaxed. Even when Zhou Tao on the stage called out her name with a loudspeaker, she still didn't feel any sense of crisis.

But when she heard her opponent's name, Song Yu was subconsciously stunned.

Zhou Tao on stage shouted, "Class 2 Zhou Wenchang, Class 5 Song Yu, battle stage number 6!"

Song Yu was confused:???

I originally thought that this physical competition would be the same as the previous beast taming competition, with students competing within the same class.

But she didn't expect that not only was it changed to a random battle among all grades, but her opponent was actually Zhou Wenchang?

If it weren't for the plot of the novel, Song Yu wouldn't have believed that such a coincidence could happen!

You have to know that there are students from ten classes in this indoor stadium right now! From Class 1 to Class 10, how could such a large number of students be here by chance?

"Song Yu, you must cheer up when you go up this time! Don't let this scumbag knock you down with one punch again like before!" Zhou Ting also felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, but she frowned, waved her fist, and cheered Song Yu up first.

The physical battle between Song Yu and the scumbag a few months ago made her furious. Fortunately, the scumbag was beaten badly by students from other classes in the end, which made Zhou Ting breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his opponent was Zhou Wenchang.

She waved her fist confidently and happily echoed Zhou Ting.

As the saying goes: The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar.

As long as Zhou Wenchang swung his fist, she would immediately lie on the ground under his fist!

However.

Just as Song Yu stepped onto the stage, Zhou Wenchang also jumped onto the stage...

Zhou Wenchang suddenly raised his hand to the female teacher who was acting as the referee and said, "Teacher, I forfeit this exam!"

Song Yu was shocked, his eyes widened, and he suspected that he was hallucinating: "???"

The female teacher was equally surprised: "Student, are you sure you want to give up?"

Zhou Wenchang nodded and said with a firm face, "Teacher, I am sure that I will give up this exam."

Song Yu stiffened: "..."

"Student, why do you want to give up?" As the referee, the female teacher asked a few questions conscientiously.

"Teacher, I decided to give up because I couldn't beat her and wanted to save my energy." Zhou Wenchang said nonsense with a serious face, but his serious expression immediately made the referee believe what he said.

The teacher nodded, not dwelling on the question any further, and then announced loudly, "In that case, Song Yu from Class 5 wins this round!"

Watching the teacher on the stage announce the winner of the competition, Song Yu almost couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. Even when she walked down from the stage, she was a little dazed and felt as if her feet were stepping on cotton.

But at this moment, Zhou Wenchang, who had just been so serious, came over...

The boy scratched his cheek as if shy, and then touched the tip of his nose.

He lowered his voice and said, "Song Yu, I broke up with Huang Jiayan a few months ago. Do you think we can get back together now?"

"During the previous physical competition, I accidentally hit you. Is it okay if I just admit defeat and apologize?"

Song Yu: “…”

Okay, okay, what the hell is going on?

Song Yu was shocked in an instant!
