Chapter 100 24-Hour Teacher (3)
Class 201?
Bai Ye was shocked. How could it be Class 201?
He wasn't surprised at all by the strange events, but the fact that the body he entered belonged to a student from four years ago was quite odd.
"Is spacetime overlapping?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but wonder what was so strange about this high-level player dungeon.
Before I could figure it out, the feeling of being out of control amplified infinitely, and the next second, I was stripped of control over my body.
Bai Ye's body was confined to a square black box. He could see the outside environment clearly, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He saw those small hands scoop up the lotus seed soup and quickly finish it.
Well, it should only take about a minute.
Then he put the bowl on the small stool by the door, sat back down, and took out a test paper.
It's a math test!
After Bai Ye saw it clearly, he immediately perked up, wanting to see how little Li Xiaoman's academic performance was in the second grade.
But as he looked at it, he soon realized something was wrong.
"Is this an Olympiad math problem?"
Bai Ye watched as the child diligently checked his calculations, one problem after another. Even when he paused to solve a difficult problem, he continued writing and drawing in his notebook. Bai Ye's brows furrowed.
With his memories intact, Bai Ye knew very well that this math Olympiad paper was at the level of a fourth-grade elementary school student.
Is it too difficult to make a second-grade student do a fourth-grade test?
Moreover, it was at nine o'clock in the evening.
Isn't this the time to sleep?
But something even more terrifying is yet to come!
At ten o'clock in the evening, the woman returned and nodded slightly, pleased to find the lotus seed soup finished. However, when she reached the table and saw that the two papers were still unfinished, her expression darkened.
"Manman, didn't Mom say that you can only do one test paper in half an hour, and you must finish two test papers within an hour?"
"Mom, I don't quite understand." Li Xiaoman said softly, trying to explain herself.
But the woman wouldn't listen and banged on the table, "Manman, you need to adjust your attitude towards learning. These are basic Olympiad math problems. With your ability, you should be able to finish one in half an hour. Never mind, I won't talk about this now. I'll give you the answers..."
Ten minutes later, the woman's voice was even deeper, "How could you get so many wrong? Didn't I tell you that you can only get two simple questions wrong at most? And these are calculation errors, so it's even more unacceptable."
"Mom, I'm a little sleepy, and my eyes are blurry." Li Xiaoman stood beside her, somewhat at a loss.
“Manman, you must remember that your mother spent 200,000 yuan on a school selection fee to get you into the Experimental Primary School. You have to work harder than others…”
At 11 p.m., the woman who had finished educating the child left.
Before closing the door, he said, "Go to sleep after you've finished correcting it. Get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to memorize classical Chinese texts. I'll be checking your work at six-thirty."
The door finally closed.
Li Xiaoman stood by the desk, somewhat bewildered. After a while, she came to her senses, sat down, and continued to correct her mistakes.
Bai Ye looked at the little child, who had spent a full half hour correcting the last question. She felt extremely sorry for him.
"What kind of mom is this! It's already 11 o'clock and she still won't let me sleep. Corrections, corrections, corrections, finish the math olympiad problems in half an hour, and get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning... Holy crap!"
Bai Ye was so angry that he swore, and then he continued to curse inside the black box.
It wasn't until Li Xiaoman finally lay down and turned off the light that things quieted down.
He dared not make a sound, fearing that his "presence" would disturb the child's sleep.
The poor child, only in second grade, is being treated like this; it's so tragic.
No, that's not right.
The child has been basically tamed and has no will to resist.
Bai Ye recalled the conversation between Li Xiaoman and her mother and couldn't help but feel shocked: At what age did they start training the child?
What on earth is Li Xiaoman's mother doing?!
"All you ever think about is studying, studying! Doesn't anyone care about children's mental health?"
"If I keep studying like this, I'm going to die."
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden dungeon: I want to study hard and get first place.]
[Dungeon quests are being distributed. Players are advised to pay attention to their students' academic progress, striving for good grades while maintaining a healthy mindset. Studying is my best, life is my sweetest! Final quest rewards will be based on the student's mental well-being.]
"Hidden dungeons, not hidden quests?" This was the first time Bai Ye had ever heard of dungeons being interspersed within dungeons.
Wait a minute, this dungeon name seems familiar.
After thinking and thinking, Bai Ye finally remembered that when he was a regular player, he had drawn this card once.
"Strange, how can regular dungeons be mixed into high-level dungeons?"
Players don't need to worry; the dungeon difficulty will be adjusted according to player level and ability to ensure perfect match.
"..." It doesn't have to be that way; it's actually better to keep it simple.
Bai Ye nestled in the small black box, silently digesting the second instance. Combining this with his magical journey in the middle of the night, he roughly grasped the purpose of this teacher instance.
This group of seemingly harmless students is actually the most troublesome.
Those troublesome parents, while seemingly dangerous, are actually not that great. However, they are very likely the very factors that cause students to go astray.
"This is weird. You didn't do something really big for me, did you? Thirty students, and every single one of them has a problem?" Bai Ye was very uneasy.
[Congratulations, player! Your guess was very accurate. Please keep up the good work and use your warm heart to touch every young soul.]
Bai Ye was numb.
The next day, at 6:30 in the morning.
The water was boiled a second time, and finally the instant noodles were ready to soak.
While waiting to eat the noodles, Bai Ye took out Li Xiaoman's grades and her parents' information again.
"Li Xiaoman graduated from Sunflower Kindergarten, a private kindergarten with annual tuition of around 20,000 yuan. She paid 200,000 yuan in entrance fees to Experimental Primary School, where she began participating in various school and city-wide competitions from first grade onwards, including guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), magic, dance, and sketching..."
"Starting from first grade, I got full marks in both Chinese and math. From fourth grade onwards, my scores on tests, both big and small, were generally above 98. My highest honors were first prize in the provincial elementary school math Olympiad and a silver medal in the national math Olympiad..."
Looking at Li Xiaoman's past achievements and the various other awards she had received, Bai Ye would have truly praised the parents for their excellent parenting if it weren't for last night's experience.
His learning ability, competitive ability, and even his ability to communicate and host impromptu events are all outstanding.
Bai Ye flipped through the semester-end evaluations that Teacher Yan had written for his students over the past few years:
[Li Xiaoman, you are an outstanding child. You are intelligent, humble, respectful to teachers, and caring towards your classmates. You are a good student in everyone's eyes, and a gentle and understanding older sister, like the softest ray of sunshine in spring.]
Li Xiaoman was born in September and started school a year later, so she was born in the oldest month among her peers in her class.
"She seems to be the class monitor of Class 601 as well," Bai Ye remembered something else.
Looking back, I picture a slender figure walking back and forth between the office and the classroom every day.
"Teacher Bai, these are all the math workbooks from our class."
"Teacher Bai, I don't quite understand this math problem. Could you help me take a look?"
"Teacher Bai, if I get first place in the math competition, will I be guaranteed admission to university? Do students admitted through this program need to study?"
Bai Ye's "memory" finally returned, and this well-behaved and intelligent student turned out to be the class representative for her class.
The little girl always had a serene smile on her face. During breaks, she didn't run or jump around; she was either doing problems or helping her classmates solve them.
Bai Ye's heart clenched instantly, and she felt extremely distressed.
He held his breath and opened Li Xiaoman's parents' information again.
The parents are divorced, and the father's section only contains a name with no other information.
Mother Li Ruojun, 35 years old, is a senior executive in a company with an annual salary of 400,000 yuan...
Bai Ye had to admire the research capabilities of the Experimental Primary School; they could even find out the parents' annual salaries, which meant they had thoroughly investigated the students' families.
"Annual salary of 400,000 yuan, living in Danfeng Community. I remember the lowest price per square meter in that community was 50,000 yuan, and the smallest unit was 180 square meters."
Bai Ye didn't believe that Li Xiaoman's mother could afford to buy the house outright. If that were the case, she would have definitely bought a school district house in the Experimental Community.
Therefore, the houses in Danfeng Community must have been financed with loans.
"I think I saw her mom's car keys after school on Friday. It was a BMW, so it must be pretty high-end..."
After some discussion, Bai Ye roughly figured out that Li Ruojun was very capable and strong-willed. After the divorce, her daughter changed her surname and took her mother's surname. She was strict with her child from a young age and always strived to be number one.
Bai Ye immediately felt a headache coming on. He had never encountered a child like this during his student days.
As a poor student from an ordinary family, I have absolutely no connection with these kinds of students!
How do you communicate with top students and their parents?
Bai Ye looked at the student files and was stumped.
For two days in a row, he couldn't come up with a solution and didn't know what was wrong with Li Xiaoman, this student.
As a result, on Sunday night, at 12:30 a.m., he received a phone call that summoned him to the First People's Hospital.
Li Xiaoman jumped off a building.
The call was made by Teacher Yan, who happened to be at the First Hospital. He was there that evening to pick up his medication at the emergency room when he saw his student.
Bai Ye was still unclear about the specifics, so he put on a coat, took a taxi, and rushed over. At the entrance of the emergency room, Teacher Yan was standing alone in a hospital gown.
"Teacher Yan, what exactly happened?" Bai Ye ran over in one breath, panting heavily.
“I don’t know either. Li Xiaoman’s mother won’t say anything. The child is still in the emergency room, but I asked the nurses and they said she shouldn’t be in any danger.”
As Yan Xin spoke, he pulled Bai Ye to a corner of the hall, "Teacher Bai, how could you manage a class like this? How could this happen?"
"Me?" Bai Ye looked bewildered. "I don't know either. I just took over, and I haven't even had a chance to hold an online parent-teacher meeting yet. Oh no, Teacher Yan, what do you mean? Is it my fault? This must be a problem you left behind."
Yan Xin frowned deeply. "The parents' committee will definitely find out about this. Li Xiaoman's mother and Xu Haotian's father were college classmates and have a very good relationship. Xu Haotian's father is also related to the principal..."
In short, Yan Xin was very troubled.
Although Bai Ye is the acting homeroom teacher, the original homeroom teacher is certainly not immune to the consequences.
After listening for a while, Bai Ye finally understood. So, this Teacher Yan was worried about being held liable and pressured by both the parents and the school. This wasn't genuine concern for the students at all!
"Teacher Yan, your wound hasn't healed yet. Go back and rest first. I'll take care of it here."
Bai Ye didn't want to talk to the other person anymore, so he ended the chat with a few simple words and walked towards Li Xiaoman's mother, who was standing at the door of the emergency room.
