Chapter 081 Super War
"The school will have a pre-term exam this Friday, and there will be a parent-teacher conference next Wednesday. If a student can rank first in the grade, they will receive a reward from the grade director. Making a strong presence at the parent-teacher conference next Wednesday will be a huge help in getting through the exam."
Hearing Wei Ziqi's news, Lin Xi couldn't help but give Wei Ziqi a thumbs up: "Well done."
But she glanced at Lin Lin behind her and remembered what the teacher had said about her poor grades. Given this situation... Lin Lin probably had no chance of getting first place in the grade.
Du Kang added: "If a student in a teacher's class can get first place in the grade, he or she will also receive a reward from the grade director.
So now the four of them are trying their best to find good talents for their classes."
The phrase "the four of them" was quite interesting, and Lin Xi couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"
Du Kang shrugged: "I'm a physical education teacher."
Well, it fits his identity as a sports school student.
When Lin Xi told them the information before, she knew his position and office as a teacher, but she didn't know that he was actually a physical education teacher.
Du Kang had already figured out his own way to please other teachers, which was the most humble way a physical education teacher could use: giving his own class time to other teachers.
Lin Xi said coldly, "Then you might lose the students' approval. Back in elementary school, I hated not being able to attend physical education." Du Kang's smile faded after Lin Xi reminded him of this. Wang Xue also shared her own method for gaining approval: being a cafeteria lady who doesn't flaunt her food.
This is quite desirable, but it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the chefs in the cafeteria.
All in all, although everyone is still safe at the moment, the hope of completing the requirements of the dungeon is very slim.
Lin Xi could only say to them: "Tomorrow morning I will pay attention to the ghost parents of the three students in our small team. If necessary, I will go and visit them. We can't let them die outside the school. I will also keep an eye on the others."
This was the only way. Lin Xi looked at the time. While they were chatting, most people at the school gate had already left. A bus stopped at the platform. The driver stuck his head out to look at Lin Xi several times, but didn't dare to honk the horn to urge him on.
The security guard at the primary school was also looking at them. If Chen Sang Ning hadn't been there, he would have come up to drive them away.
Wang Xue also said, "Then I'll go back to the cafeteria first. I have to go get food for dinner, and I'll be late if I don't go back." Wei Ziqi and Du Kang also nodded and said that they would leave first. Lin Xi waved her hand, and after the three of them entered the school, she took Shen Sang Ning's hand and prepared to leave.
After getting on the bus and finding a seat in the back row, I saw Lin Lin standing next to me and then I remembered that they had a child.
Lin Xi felt a bit overwhelmed at this moment, and pointed to the spot across the aisle and said, "You sit here first."
Lin Lin was very well behaved and nodded.
Lin Xi leaned back in her seat, tilted her head and looked at Lin Lin for a while. Lin Lin had been a very well-behaved child since she appeared. She followed him quietly. She had no other problems except that she kept her head down and looked a little gloomy. Lin Xi thought about her own conditions for passing the exam. Although the head teacher said that Lin Lin's grades were not good, maybe it was because there were no parents to help with tutoring?
Although Lin Xi herself was not smart and could not understand cultural subjects, Lin Lin was only in the third grade of elementary school. If she could help with her homework by herself, Lin Lin would surely be able to make rapid progress, right? Besides, there was also Shen Sang Ning in their family, who was also a "child". It was the same if she could teach one or two, so she might as well just tutor them together.
The elementary school rules do state, "4. Homework must be completed by the student individually," but Lin Xi can just stay out of the homework and assign her extracurricular assignments. She's confident that with her guidance, Lin Lin will be able to impress all the teachers, and then boost their favorability and earn their approval.
Speaking of which, if He Sitong were there, this dungeon would have been much easier, after all, she had the talent of "Friendship with All Things"... Perhaps it was because of this talent that He Sitong was banned directly. In the previous chat, she also learned from Wei Ziqi that He Sitong was not seen in this dungeon.
They were all refreshed at the entrance of the Central Primary School at six o'clock. Wei Ziqi observed that Lin Xi and He Sitong were not there at that time. Later at noon, he communicated with other living people and confirmed that He Sitong was not there.
This dungeon should still have 100 players, but He Sitong was banned. She should be picked next time, which means... He Sitong got a bye for two rounds. Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel lucky that she wasn't the one who got a bye for two rounds in a row, otherwise Ningning would be so lonely.
On the way home, Lin Xi formulated a plan called "My daughter made rapid progress with the guidance of her elderly mother at home and secretly amazed everyone in the pre-school test to win the teacher's favor."
She even tried to get closer to Lin Lin: "Your name is Lin Lin, right?"
It’s a pity that Lin Lin didn’t feel that Lin Xi was trying to get close to her. She just lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.
Oh, shy.
Even though Lin Lin was nearby, Shen Sang Ning didn't miss the opportunity to enjoy a snack. Every passenger who boarded the bus ended up in Shen Sang Ning's stomach. Lin Lin was a little scared watching from the side, but being scared was a good thing. It meant that she would be intimidated by Shen Sang Ning and at least she wouldn't do anything inexplicable.
Lin Xi wouldn't let down her guard just because of Lin Lin's sweet, childlike appearance. Cai Hua had previously discussed this with her. According to information accidentally revealed by employees during the "Survival is Work" dungeon, a ghost's appearance isn't correlated with how long they've been a ghost. Her current boss, who was still in HR at the time, might have been a ghost even longer than the elderly-looking Sister Sun.
Therefore, even if Lin Lin is a little girl, she might actually be too old than Lin Xi and Shen Sangning.
After arriving at the community platform, Lin Xi didn't care about Lin Lin, just asked her to follow the two of them. The three of them entered the house together. Lin Xi and Shen Sangning went into the kitchen and took a look at what was in the refrigerator. The refrigerator was dutifully refreshed with new ingredients. The beef was replaced with half a chicken, and the shrimp was still there.
Since he had already made boiled shrimps at noon, Lin Xi decided to make salt and pepper shrimps in the evening.
Although Lin Xi didn't care about Lin Lin, she was still her daughter for fourteen days, so Lin Xi simply asked Lin Lin, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
The girl sat on the sofa in the living room and shook her head, indicating that she would eat anything. A daughter like this was easy to raise, Lin Xi sighed. If Lin Lin was a picky eater, she would have kicked her out of the house right now… Of course, that was just talk. She still had to go through the dungeon, so how could she really kick the child out?
Lin Xi finished cooking dinner and called everyone to the table. Lin Xi noticed that although Lin Lin didn't have many dietary restrictions, she did enjoy shrimp, choosing it more often than chicken. Although she looked shy, she wasn't so shy as to not even pick up her chopsticks while eating.
Ghosts don't feel hungry, but delicious food will obviously improve their mood, so they will still eat.
Lin Lin didn't even spit out the shells when she ate the prawns. She swallowed the shells and tails directly, leaving only the heads outside. This was quite convenient. Even with only the heads, a small pile quickly formed in front of Lin Lin. It seemed she really enjoyed eating shrimp.
After dinner, Lin Xi negotiated with her "home" and arranged for a room to be set up specifically for Lin Lin, and then told her to go back to her room to do her homework. After sending Lin Lin away, Lin Xi stretched his shoulders and prepared to cause trouble for her "home."
She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and her arms around her chest. Shen Sangning also sat beside her. Compared with Lin Xi's somewhat unruly sitting posture, she seemed much more well-behaved.
Well, the way Lin Lin sat on the sofa just now was somewhat similar to Shen Sangning's.
Lin Xi spoke directly, "You'd better come out and explain to me what's going on. I don't believe you don't know the rules. Strange talk pushed a daughter over to me. You prepared shrimp for lunch and dinner. Did you know her preferences in advance? The 'No Trespassing' rule wasn't triggered. She walked right in. Did you give her permission a long time ago?"
"Before I get angry, you'd better explain it to me quickly, otherwise I'll take my wife and move to another place tonight."
Shen Sangning chimed in: “Live somewhere else!”
Jia didn't come out immediately, but the TV in front of them lit up. This time, no program was playing, and text was typed directly on the black background. It felt a bit like... the style of the Rule Weird Talk Live App. But the answer she got was "home."
[Lin Xi, you didn't provide me with enough happiness. I accepted Lin Lin because they promised that after joining Lin Lin, you would spend more time at home and provide me with more happiness.]
Though the words were simple, Lin Xi could vaguely sense the injustice her "home" felt. Her eyes wandered a bit, a little guilty, before quickly returning to focus on the TV. "You still believe what they say?! If it weren't for them, would I be running around outside every day? And it's because of them that I can't be with my wife." Lin Xi was indignant, but she understood the reason her "home" had accepted Lin Lin.
It seemed to be true. After clearing the first dungeon, "Sweet Home," she was kicked out of the Rule Strange Stories and spent the better part of a month in the real world. During that time, her home definitely didn't receive any happiness points.
When she came in to participate in "Survival is Work", although she stayed in the world of ghost stories for more than a month, she stayed in the funeral home during this period and did not return, and her "home" still did not get any food.
This situation should be similar to the situation where CP fans clearly see the real person right in front of them, but the two of them have no interaction at all and are not given any sweet moments.
It is also for this reason that the mastermind behind the Rules Ghost Stories was able to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Xi felt a rare pang of guilt, but quickly put it behind her and launched a verbal attack on her "home": "Speaking of which, you're too easily instigated, aren't you? Just because I'm busy, you let someone in? If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the next time I go home, there might be a lot of strange people I don't know at home?"
【……】
My family gave Lin Xi six points and I didn’t know how to respond.
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll let Ningning eat you." Lin Xi seemed to be showing mercy, but in fact, she was coaxing the naive "home": "So, who are the 'they' you are talking about?"
