Chapter 76
Jiang Yunu's tone was very matter-of-fact.
Xie Shiren was stunned for a moment. He stared at Jiang Yunu as if he were a little monster. After a moment, he leaned against the back of the chair and said, "Huh?"
Jiang Yunu repeated his request: "Since you asked me that, it means you must have been to District 17. It's a good opportunity for you to tell us about it."
Xie Shi was sure he had heard correctly, but he still stared at Jiang Yunu in disbelief: "Why should I tell you?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Yunu said, "Don't you want a chance to guide me?"
One sentence hits the mark!
The arrogant Xie classmate really wants to prove that he is better than Jiang Yunu! He would be happy if he could prove that he is better than Jiang Yunu in any aspect!
The expression on Xie Shi's face kept changing, finally forming an awkward expression that wanted to show off, but also wanted to be reserved. He cleared his throat with this awkward expression: "...Okay, since you really haven't even been to District 17 and you still say that."
Others around: "..."
The school bus departing Enge early in the morning was relatively quiet. Most people began catching up on sleep as soon as they boarded, racing against time to replenish the energy lost from waking up early. The dedicated bus Enge provided specifically for the school team was highly intelligent, with small panels on each seat armrest that activated the noise reduction function with a single click, allowing passengers to rest peacefully even amidst the clamor of a market.
Xie Shiren is a little proud, and he usually has a sullen face when dealing with Jiang Yunu. However, when he is really asked to do something, it can be seen that his overall strength is still good. He explains the basic situation of District 17 to Jiang Yunu in a very clear and logical way.
Student Xie was quite attentive to etiquette in public places. He knew that most people were resting with the soundproofing on, so he didn't express his opinions loudly and controlled the volume appropriately.
Teachers' seats were arranged in the middle of the bus, perfectly accommodating both ends. Teachers couldn't activate the noise reduction feature without proper sound insulation, as this might cause them to miss unexpected events and be unable to promptly respond to students' sudden needs. Lucy had asked Resdaniel if he wanted to sleep when they first boarded the bus. She was an early riser and had plenty of energy at that moment. If Resdaniel felt sleepy, she could watch over the students for a while, then swap shifts with him at the first transfer station.
Unexpectedly, Reiss Daniel was not sleepy either, and the two of them happened to hear the conversation between Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi at the same time.
Lu Xixi listened to Xie Shi's explanation for a while with her ears perked up. She glanced at the row of seats where Jiang Yunu was sitting and found that Jiang Yunu was also listening very attentively.
Lucy calmly withdrew her gaze and lowered her voice to chat with Reiss Daniel.
"Jiang Yunu is not quite what I originally imagined." Lu Xixi said softly.
Reiss Daniel's gaze shifted over and he asked, "What did you imagine her to look like?"
Lu Xixi thought for a moment and said, "I thought that a student like her, who has received special favor from the teacher at such a young age and has indeed achieved outstanding results, would be more arrogant."
The Enger school team brings together the best students in the school. Lu Xixi has been teaching in Enger for many years and has led many classes of school team students. Naturally, she has also seen all kinds of students who are somewhat arrogant because of their talents.
"Based on past experience," Lu Xixi said, "if the top-placed student in an intramural competition is challenged by someone ranked below them, it definitely won't resolve peacefully like this. And the top-placed student doesn't like to be lectured by someone ranked below them."
Leis Daniel said: "Jiang Yunu is indeed a little special."
Lu Xixi thinks that Jiang Yunu is the kind of student with a low level of "pride". Despite his young age, he is surprisingly calm and can remain neither arrogant nor conceited. He is also easy-going when provoked. He can be considered a little genius who doesn't have a bad temper.
Reiss Daniel agrees that Jiang Yunu is unique, but on the issue of "pride", his views differ from Lucy's.
Lu Xixi had never heard Jiang Yunu brag seriously, but Leis Daniel had already seen how "blindly confident" this little girl could be when she made boasts.
In Jiang Yunu's life dictionary, it seems that she can try anything and do anything with the mentality of "what if?". She always has confidence in herself that comes from nowhere, and the courage to face failure calmly.
It's not that Jiang Yunu isn't proud, it's just that her pride doesn't seem to need to be contrasted with others. She seems to absolutely trust and accept herself. And for someone who absolutely trusts and accepts herself, it's impossible for her to not be proud.
...And, Resdaniel also felt that Lucy might have some misunderstanding about the word "easy-going".
He asked uncertainly, "Do you find her approach to provocation easygoing?"
"No bickering or physical altercations," Lucy said curiously. "And she doesn't seem to be planning revenge afterward. There's not even a hint of violating school rules or regulations. Isn't that easygoing?"
Reiss Daniel: "..." Excuse me, it turns out that this is what happens when the kids on the school team have internal conflicts in a place he didn't understand very well?
Lucy waved her hand, her tone as casual as if she were discussing the weather. "Think about it, a place where the top students gather, and when they enter the upper grades, they all use their superpowers. Teenagers are young and impulsive. It's normal for them to occasionally deal with disputes in a radical way."
Teacher Lei suspected that he not only misunderstood the school team members, but also misunderstood the school spirit of Engel.
Because Lucy also said: "Do you remember the long list of campus conduct rules that you read to the first-year students every year when they enter school?"
Reisdaniel said, "Yes, I remember."
Lu Xixi: "More than a third of the regulations were newly added after students on the school team violated the rules."
Reiss Daniel: "..."
Teacher Lei looked a little dazed, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to Jiang Yunu again.
——Will this little girl also add something new to Engel’s school rules and regulations?
For no apparent reason, Teacher Lei considered this for a moment.
Jiang Yunu had already finished listening to Xie Shi's explanation.
In an effort to demonstrate his erudition and breadth of knowledge, Xie Shi talked until his mouth was dry. When he had almost exhausted all that he could recall from his memory, Xie Shi pursed his dry, chapped lips and asked in a commanding tone, "Do you understand?"
Jiang Yunu nodded in agreement, acting like an impeccable student, and said flatteringly, "I understand everything. You explained it very well."
Xie Shi showed a conflicted expression again, as if he wanted to be happy but couldn't show it openly because he was praised by his perceived enemy.
Finally, Xie's roundabout way of expressing his happiness was to say, "Huh!"
Jiang Yunu: "..." Okay, I understand. It seems that "humph" can express a variety of emotions for this person.
Through Xie Shi's explanation, it is known that District 17 as a whole is a little more developed than their District 19, and various technological and intelligent facilities are more popular. The destination they are about to go to is a floating city located in the central hub area of District 17. More than 70% of its area belongs to the largest and most luxurious school in District 17 - Songnan Academy of Supernatural Powers.
Xie Shi told Jiang Yunu about District 17 and also about Songnan College. In fact, Jiang Yunu had already seen the basic information of Songnan College in the "private tutoring" information Zhou Jinxue gave her, but when she mentioned this school, the first impression that came to her mind was still -
The school that doesn’t provide any subsidies to poor freshmen!
When applying to schools, Songnan Academy of Special Abilities was the first school to be screened out by Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen, and was also the first school to be removed from the application list.
The two of them also watched the three-dimensional promotional projection that Songnan spent a lot of money to create, and they were deeply impressed by it.
Zhou Jinxue had been temporarily deprived of the right to explain District 17 to her junior. When the school bus arrived at the first transfer station, the leading teacher went to handle the cross-district pass certification. Zhou Jinxue said to Jiang Yunu calmly, "District 17 is considered Songnan's home turf. They must be hoping to win the championship on their home turf this year."
The school bus had to stop for a while at the transfer station and queue up to wait for entry into the transmission device. During the waiting period, the students who had previously turned on the one-button noise reduction function also woke up and cancelled the noise reduction function. The school bus suddenly became noisy, and everyone was talking and chatting.
"Songnan is the home school, so the accommodations should be good this year, right?"
"It's not just accommodation, the food must be good too."
"Great, great, great, great! It's great to be on the school team this year!"
Zhou Jinxue's voice was drowned out by the discussion about where to stay, food and accommodation, but Jiang Yunu and she were sitting next to each other, so the junior girl still heard what the senior girl said clearly and completely.
"In that case," Jiang Yunu said, "it would be very interesting to win the championship in someone else's home stadium."
Zhou Jinxue reached out and knocked the school girl on the head who was talking nonsense.
After the first transfer, it took another hour to enter the second transfer.
After passing through the transmission device twice, the school bus officially entered the territory of District 17.
District 17 is worthy of being the first of the seven districts. Once you enter its territory, you can see with the naked eye that it is indeed more prosperous than their District 19.
Just now, Jiang Yunu had only listened to Xie Shi's story, and it was difficult for her to imagine in detail the prosperity of this "significant difference". But when she saw it with her own eyes, her eyes fell on the colorful city outside the car window.
Jiang Yunu sighed as if he had moved from a small town to a big city: "The housing prices here must be very expensive."
Xie Shi, who thought Jiang Yunu was a bit ignorant, said, "Huh."
Zhou Jinxue decided to agree with her schoolmate: "Well, it will be more expensive than the city housing in District 19."
Being able to see the city scenery means you are not far from your destination.
After hearing Jiang Luobo's sigh, Reiss Daniel held back his laughter and stood up from his seat: "Classmates, please check your personal belongings and be ready to get off the bus in five minutes."
