Chapter 102: Is it your turn to be a duck in the Four Schools League? ...
On the morning of the first day of school, Lin Zhuyue tied the red and black plaid bow tie that belonged to the fourth grade students in the senior department, carried his schoolbag, and walked listlessly on the way to school.
When she passed by the Wen family's door, she happened to run into Wen Miyan who was walking out.
Wen Miyan greeted Lin Zhuyue:
"Good morning, where's Shican?"
"He was on duty today and left early."
Lin Zhuyue took out a pack of Weilong spicy strips from her bag, handed it to Wen Miyan, and said in a low voice,
"Shichan secretly stockpiled some. I was hungry in the middle of the night and found it while searching his snack cabinet, so I took it out. I was planning to eat it with rice at noon, but it seems better for everyone to share..."
Wen Miyan thought, maybe it was because you would eat rice with it that Shi Can hid it.
When Lin Zhuyue and Wen Miyan were about to reach the teaching building, they ran into Ye Yangjia and Gong Yongyuan who were walking towards them.
Gong Yongyuan recounted his experience with a look of despair:
"My family's been tidying up their garden lately. The gardener said the soil isn't very good and we need to buy some new soil. So I bought over a hundred bags and it took a lot of effort to get them to Tiancheng..."
Ye Yangjia asked: "And then, there are maggots in the soil?"
"There are snakes and eggs in the dirt!!"
Gong Yongyuan cried loudly,
"A nest of Zhoushan cobras hatched! One with two heads! It almost bit me! What sin did I commit in my past life to have a dog like Beagle in this lifetime?"
Ye Yangjia was silent for a moment, then asked:
"...Weren't you cursing the snake? Why did you start cursing Bigger? Aren't you jumping around a bit too quickly?"
Gong Yongyuan wiped away a tear:
"Ever since we sent Bigger back home, my parents and I haven't dared to call our relatives back home. My cousin has transferred from the Korean branch in Yanbian to the main campus, and we'll be meeting soon. How am I going to face him?"
Ye Yangjia: “…”
So that's what you're worried about?
Ye Yangjia patted Gong Yongyuan on the shoulder and comforted him:
"You kowtow to him once? There's nothing that can't be solved with just one kowtow. If that doesn't work, kowtow twice more."
"Are you human?"
Gong Yongyuan had just finished scolding Ye Yangjia, and threw his schoolbag into his arms, saying,
"I'm going to the training hall to shoot some arrows to relieve my boredom. Please help me take my schoolbag upstairs."
Ye Yangjia held his schoolbag and watched Gong Yongyuan leave. He spread his hands to Lin Zhuyue and Wen Miyan who were approaching, and the three of them entered the teaching building together.
As soon as they reached the fourth floor, they saw a boy with a cigarette in his mouth walk into the classroom at the end of the corridor.
Ye Yangjia asked: "...Is that our classroom?"
“It seems so.”
Lin Zhuyue hesitated and asked,
"Is that a transfer student?"
Wen Miyan shook her head and denied it:
"No, judging by his bow tie, he looks like a lower grade student. He looks unfamiliar. I haven't seen him in school before."
The three of them looked at each other, and finally decided to go to the classroom to see what was going on.
Shi Can was sweeping the dust with a magic broom when he saw an unfamiliar boy enter the classroom.
The boy had good features, but maybe because of the cigarette in his mouth, he looked a bit ruffian. He met Shi Can's puzzled and puzzled gaze and stepped forward, extending his hand, and said in a flattering tone:
"Senior, let me help you sweep and mop the floor for free. Just give me two hundred yuan. Life is not easy, and I'm relying on you for today's meal money."
As he said that, he was about to take the broom from Shi Chan's hand.
Shi Can switched the broom from his right hand to his left hand and said:
"No money for food? You're in the third year, right? Where did the mission bonus go?"
"Alas, metaphysics is sometimes very expensive."
The boy counted on his fingers where his money had gone.
"Last semester, I broke a classmate's Lingwu and was sued for over three million yuan. I accidentally set the school lawn on fire and was fined. Oh, and by the way, I gambled on stones to make some extra money, and I got scammed out of all my money!"
Shi Can: “…”
"Ah, what a misfortune!"
The young man sighed as he pinched the cigarette and shook it gently, and the ash fell on the ground that Shi Can had just swept.
Shi Can raised the broom and said, "Put out the cigarette."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the boy shrank back to the door.
After seeing Lin Zhuyue and the other two observing him outside the door, he reached out and took Lin Zhuyue's hand, saying:
"Seniors, please save me. I'm willing to work like a slave for you... or even a duck."
Shi Chan, who was standing behind, raised his hand to support his forehead.
He thought to himself: Is it your turn to be a gigolo?
"Don't be like that."
Lin Zhuyue pulled back his hand, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out two pink bills, handed them to the young man, and said,
"If you don't spend recklessly, it's enough to cover three or four days of food. If you have financial difficulties, you can ask the teachers and the school for help. I don't think the school will ignore you."
The young man took the pink ticket and said with tears in his eyes:
"Thank you, Senior Sister. You are simply a living Bodhisattva!"
Lin Zhuyue watched the boy leave.
"Who is that?"
Shi Can held the broom and couldn't help asking,
"When did this kind of weirdo appear in our school?"
"Never mind, just clean up."
Ye Yangjia took out the dried mop from the back of the classroom and planned to wash it, saying,
"I have to attend the opening ceremony soon. I missed it in previous years, but I absolutely cannot miss it this time."
Lin Zhuyue was confused: "Why?"
“This semester is going to be an important one.”
Wen Miyan stuffed her schoolbag into the hole in the table, picked up the lip gloss and casually applied it on her lips twice, then added,
"It's very important for most senior students. We've been waiting for this semester for three years."
Lin Zhuyue became even more curious:
"What are you waiting for?"
But Wen Miyan was deliberately keeping the question in suspense. She did not answer but was busy applying lipstick on Lin Zhuyue. After applying lipstick, she applied a watery lip gloss, making Lin Zhuyue's originally pale lips become moist and pink.
After Ye Yangjia came back with a mop and mopped the classroom twice, they set off together to the auditorium where the opening ceremony of the senior school would be held.
Most of the students in Class 1, Grade 4 had already arrived. Lin Zhuyue had just found an empty seat to sit down when he was given a small bag of snacks.
Luce, who was stuffing snacks with food, joked:
"This is Ningxiang Pill."
This is actually a very old meme. When they were young, the popular TV series "The Legend of the Fragrant Concubine" featured a elixir called Ningxiang Pills in the possession of the Fragrant Concubine. It's said that chocolate chips were used as props in the filming. Whenever Lin Zhuyue's elementary school classmates went to buy Maltesers, they would claim they were buying Ningxiang Pills to appear classy and classy, which was also hilarious.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Can I turn into a butterfly if I eat it?"
"Maybe. Why don't you try it?"
A year later, Lin Zhuyue's relationships with her classmates had become quite harmonious. They shared snacks and joked around. If Tiancheng weren't short on shopping malls and stores, Lin Zhuyue might have even gone shopping with the girls.
Soon, the opening ceremony began.
Kang Huazong stepped onto the podium and said:
"Dear students and academic staff, a brand new semester has begun. I'm sure you all know that the quadrennial four-school league will be held this semester, so this semester will be a very exciting and special one."
"Although the four-school league is very important, we cannot slack off on theoretical and practical studies. Next, I will announce the learning goals for each grade in the senior division this semester..."
"Four-school league..."
Lin Zhuyue scratched his head and asked,
"I think I've heard of it? But..."
She has no recollection of it.
"Actually, it's a martial arts competition open only to senior students. However, it's not limited to the main campus, but senior students from all four campuses."
Wen Miyan explained in a low voice,
"Many of the outstanding spiritual masters currently serving at the Spiritual Master Mansion, who do not come from aristocratic families, rose to prominence during their student days by virtue of their outstanding performance in the Four Schools League."
"When Lao Fu was first promoted to the Advanced Department, he was in Class 2. He applied for a class transfer several times, but the Spiritual Master's Office refused. After winning the Four Schools League, the school realized he was really good, so they moved him to Class 1."
“Wow.”
Lin Zhuyue knew very well how much the students in Class 2 wanted to be promoted to Class 1, so she asked,
"Then all the students in Class 2 must participate?"
"Not just Class Two, but all the students in our class should be participating. Each student is only allowed to participate in the Four-School Tournament once during their time in the Senior Division. Most students will encounter the Four-School Tournament twice in their seven years of studying in the Senior Division, and they generally choose to wait until they reach the senior year before participating."
Wen Miyan spread out her hands and said,
"Our class was born at the wrong time. We only get to participate in this four-school tournament once in seven years. If we miss it, we won't be able to participate unless we repeat the grade."
After the opening ceremony, the students returned to class for a brief review and preparation for the afternoon exam.
However, the four-school league had everyone excited, and there was no room for quiet. Duan Junheng didn't really enforce class discipline, so Class 1 was noisy all morning.
"Before the Four Schools League develops to the point where all four campuses compete on the same stage, each campus will hold a preliminary round in advance to select apprentice spiritual masters who will participate in the league's preliminary rounds through a points competition."
Wen Miyan explained the competition rules to Lin Zhuyue.
"For the main division, each grade from fourth grade upwards has two seeded players. If you get a spot, you don't have to participate in the preliminaries and can directly advance to the next stage of the competition."
Lin Zhuyue subconsciously turned to look at Shi Can.
"I should be able to get one of those spots."
Shi Can lowered his head and used his mobile phone to control the surveillance car at home, chasing Xiaoyu all over the house. He said calmly,
"The other spot should go to the person on your left. After all, the selection criteria is fighting ability. There's no suspense at all."
Wen Miyan's physical fitness and physical skills are extremely superior, and her spiritual martial arts are also extremely aggressive. If she hadn't met Shi Can, the devilishly spicy one, she would be the spiciest pepper in the fourth grade.
Shi Chan asked, "Partner, do you want to compete? Do you want to be the champion?"
Lin Zhuyue looked through his summer homework and said dejectedly:
"...I'd rather survive the afternoon exam."
