"Heh heh... Heh heh heh heh..."
A strange laughter echoed through the room.
Everyone in the classroom turned to look at the back row, their expressions filled with bewilderment.
A male student had his head down on the desk, continuously letting out peculiar laughter, his body trembling with excitement.
"Chen Shu!"
The teacher on the podium immediately darkened his expression and spoke coldly.
However, only the 'heh heh' laughter responded to him.
The homeroom teacher, Li Yuan, finally couldn't hold back. He pinched a piece of chalk in his hand and threw it directly at Chen Shu.
Whoosh!
As expected, the chalk hit Chen Shu's... desk mate with precision.
"Mr. Li... I..."
Zhang Dali looked aggrieved, wondering how he could get caught in the crossfire just by sitting there.
"Wake Chen Shu up!" Li Yuan remained unfazed.
"Chen Shu! Chen Shu!" Zhang Dali had no choice but to comply, nudging his desk mate.
"Don't bother... heh heh heh..."
But Chen Shu continued to sway, accompanied by his lewd laughter.
Seeing this, Li Yuan's face grew darker, on the verge of exploding.
Zhang Dali knew he had to do something.
"School's over..."
Zhang Dali whispered softly.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu reacted almost instinctively, standing up straight in an instant, even kicking the chair a bit.
Seeing this scene, the classmates couldn't help but snicker.
Chen Shu, just waking up, was a bit slow to realize, looking bewildered.
It's just the end of class, why laugh so loudly?
Can't you be as calm as I am?
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and suddenly saw a large dark face filling his vision.
"What the hell is this?!" he exclaimed.
The next second, Chen Shu immediately reacted, his body jolting with shock.
"Hello, Mr. Li..."
"Having a nice dream?" Li Yuan's face was as dark as coal, making one worry if it might spontaneously combust.
"No... heh... heh..."
Chen Shu quickly shook his head, seemingly recalling the scene in his dream, and laughed again.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.
"Brother, you're truly fearless..."
Beside him, Zhang Dali's eyes were filled with admiration, practically idolizing him.
Chen Shu also realized the situation, forcing himself to stifle his laughter and remain silent.
"Why are you sleeping in class?" Li Yuan asked sternly.
Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"As a student, isn't it reasonable to sleep during math class?"
Chen Shu thought to himself.
But seeing Li Yuan's angry face, he held back from saying it out loud.
Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he seemed to think of something, refraining from getting angry again.
He returned to the podium, pointing at the blackboard.
"What is the answer to the question I just explained? Get it wrong and you're out of the classroom."
Chen Shu's body shook, rubbing his eyes.
But when he saw the question, he was instantly confused.
"In the early Revival Calendar, what is the incantation for Beast Masters to sign a Contracted Spirit?"
Chen Shu looked bewildered, with three philosophical questions popping into his mind.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What the hell is this?"
Isn't this supposed to be a math class?
Isn't Black Whirlwind Li Kui the math teacher?
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Li Yuan's face grew darker, and the chalk in his hand was crushed.
His anger was rising rapidly, ready to unleash a finishing move.
At this moment, Chen Shu knew he had to come up with an answer to salvage the situation.
Incantation... incantation...
Finally, he tentatively spoke.
"Odd changes don't change, signs... look at the quadrant?"
Bang!
Li Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his hand on the desk.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Mr. Li, don't be angry, give me another chance!"
Chen Shu quickly spoke, trying to temporarily suppress the homeroom teacher's anger.
"Essay questions are beyond my knowledge, multiple-choice questions are my forte!"
"Multiple-choice questions, multiple-choice questions! Is that all you can do?!"
Li Yuan roared loudly, even the ground seemed to tremble.
"Ding! Beast Selection System successfully activated!"
The voice in his mind left Chen Shu bewildered again.
Immediately, three options appeared before his eyes.
[Option 1: Honestly admit your mistake and promise not to repeat it. Reward: A small amount of Beast Power]
[Option 2: Spread your hands and sincerely say, "I wanted to interact with you as a top student, but all I got was alienation. I'm revealing the truth, I'm a poor student, I know nothing!" Reward: Low-Grade Flame Elixir]
[Option 3: Remain silent and keep your head down. Reward: Contracted Spirit Obedience +1]
Protagonist's aura?!
Although Chen Shu was confused, his reaction was quick. This was clearly the treatment of a protagonist.
It seemed he only needed to make a choice to receive various rewards.
Although he didn't know what these rewards were for,
Who cares, just choose.
He glanced at the options and quickly came to a conclusion.
All the rewards seemed mediocre, with words like 'small', 'low-grade', and '+1' appearing too stingy.
"Damn stingy system."
Although the rewards seemed inferior, the Low-Grade Flame Elixir seemed to be the best option.
As for the content of the options, Chen Shu didn't care at all, he only cared about the rewards.
The world always demands men to be fearless...
Chen Shu looked composed, glancing at Li Yuan, even scanning everyone like a leader inspecting, just missing the hands behind his back and the official tone.
Then, he spread his hands, looking serious.
"I wanted to interact with everyone as a top student, but all I got was alienation."
At this point, Chen Shu sighed.
"I'm revealing the truth, I'm a poor student, I know nothing!"
Silence!
A deathly silence!
Even the air in the classroom seemed to freeze.
Everyone looked at Chen Shu, their eyes filled with admiration.
A role model for our generation!
Who in the grade dares to challenge 'Black Whirlwind' head-on?
This is like standing at the forefront, grasping the rotation of the sun and moon!!
"Chen Shu, come with me to the office!"
Li Yuan's face suddenly calmed down, but it was incredibly oppressive.
Seeing Li Yuan leave the classroom, Chen Shu adjusted his shirt, while a voice echoed in his mind.
[Choice successful! Reward obtained: Low-Grade Flame Elixir!]
[Due to the host's bravery, additional reward: Contracted Spirit Obedience +1!]
[Elixir has been automatically placed in the System Space!]
Chen Shu slowly stepped out of the classroom, like a warrior about to embark on a journey.
All the classmates in the classroom paid attention, as if waiting for his triumphant return.
A storm was brewing.
After the two left, the classmates began to chatter.
"What's going on? Did Chen Pi take some medicine? So brave?"
"This is practically challenging Black Whirlwind's authority, even the geniuses in the Beast Class wouldn't dare be so presumptuous."
"Dali, what's going on? You're desk mates with Chen Pi, do you know what's happening?"
Although Chen Shu's name seemed serious, he was known for being too mischievous,
His thought process didn't align with normal people, earning him the nickname Chen Pi.
Zhang Dali straightened his back, looking proud.
"Nonsense, my desk mate is no ordinary person, I've always said he's super brave."
