Chapter 106: Entering the Strange Land Again (2)
Noon.
At a coffee shop in Qingcheng City.
Chen Yu and the form teacher of No. 2 High School sat opposite each other.
“I really didn’t expect it.” The form teacher had a complicated expression. “The top scorer is right beside me.”
“I’ve told you before that I’m a genius.” Chen Yu added two pieces of sugar into the cup and took a sip. “How have you been recently?”
The form teacher: “Pretty good.”
Chen Yu: “That’s good.”
The form teacher: “I was expelled.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“The reason I was expelled was because I didn’t do my job properly and didn’t pay attention to the students’ actual situation.”
“Blame me. Blame me for this.”
“No.” The form teacher shook her head. “I think the school’s expulsion makes sense. I actually treated a top student as a last resort. If you were really destroyed by my hands, I’ll have to feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
“I’m different from normal people.” Chen Yu comforted him. “I don’t have universality. You don’t want to stay in that crappy school of No. 2 High School. I’ll go back and tell the principal of No. 7 High School that you will come to work at No. 7 High School. There will definitely be a place for you in Qingcheng City.”
“No.” The homeroom teacher refused. “I want to study for a while and increase my skills and knowledge so that I can be a reliable teacher.”
“You’ve always been very reliable.”
“…Maybe.”
The two of them fell silent for a while.
Chen Yu found a topic to talk about. “How is the principal of No. 2 High School?”
“After I was expelled, he was also suspended,” the homeroom teacher explained slowly. “He had been the principal for more than a year and didn’t have any good results. He only groomed Liang Fan, but he didn’t make it into the top four. Most importantly, he fired you, the top scorer, which made the higher-ups unhappy.”
“He got cold?”
“More or less. Be careful. He is a vengeful person. I suspect that he will find a chance to take revenge on you.”
“Then I will find a chance to reimburse him.”
“In short… You should try your best to be careful. You are now the top scorer and have reached a level that I can’t touch. I don’t have the ability to give you advice.”
“You will always be my teacher.”
“With your words, I feel half better.” The homeroom teacher smiled.
Chen Yu smiled. “What about the other half?”
“If you return the money you owe me, I will be even more comfortable.”
“Money?” Chen Yu tilted his head. “What money do you want from me? When did I owe you money?”
“…Cigarettes.”
“…Oh! Damn, that’s right! I actually forgot about this matter when you helped me pay for the cigarettes back then.”
“I want to go to Shanghai to study. If it wasn’t for the lack of travel expenses, I wouldn’t have asked. It’s very embarrassing.” The homeroom teacher was embarrassed.
“It’s only right to repay a debt. I was careless, I’ll transfer it to you now.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu used his phone to transfer the money.
The homeroom teacher also took out his phone. After a while, he returned the extra money that Chen Yu had given him. “I understand your good intentions, but two thousand is enough.”
He stood up and looked Chen Yu up and down. “In my life, I’m most proud of teaching you. The most regretful thing is that I didn’t teach you well.”
Chen Yu also stood up and reached out to shake the form teacher’s hand. “I’ll say it again. You’re a good teacher, but I’m not a good student.”
“Sigh…” Letting go, the homeroom teacher took half a step back. “After today’s farewell, I probably won’t have the chance to see you again. Chen Yu…”
“Yes. Go ahead.”
“I wish you… a bright future.”
After saying that, he turned around and left in a carefree manner.
That back view actually had some lingering charm from when Chen Yu left school…
“Teacher!” suddenly, Chen Yu shouted.
The homeroom teacher stopped and turned around. “What?”
“I still don’t know your name.”
“…My name is Lao Shi (teacher).”
…
Saying goodbye to the class teacher was like saying goodbye to yesterday.
It made Chen Yu feel a little dazed.
In just a short month, his life had finally arrived at another ‘world’.
When he returned home, Chen Yu briefly tidied up and informed Mother Chen and Chen Siwen that he was going to leave home to ‘cultivate’.
Mother Chen and Chen Siwen looked at each other for a long time before immediately hiding in the room and whispering to each other.
“Mom, what did I say? After the exam, Xiao Yu will definitely accompany that rich woman.”
“This… There’s nothing we can do. She spent so much money for Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu didn’t say anything, so let’s not get involved.”
“An old cow eating young grass, bah! How embarrassing.”
“I think Xiao Yu is quite happy. Stop talking, let him go.”
“Sigh…” Chen Siwen’s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. “My poor little brother…”
After chatting for a while, the two of them left the house.
Chen Siwen carefully tidied up Chen Yu’s collar. “Xiao Yu…”
Chen Yu: “Ah?”
“Come back when you’ve been wronged. Our family is rich now. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”
Chen Yu: “?”
Chen Siwen: “Protect your privacy. You’re now the top scorer. There might be reporters secretly taking photos.”
Chen Yu: “??”
Chen Siwen: “Finally… take care of your body.”
Chen Yu: “???”
…
He left home inexplicably.
Chen Yu went to Sister Qi’s place to have a sumptuous dinner. Then, he carried a long bag on his back and walked straight towards Qingcheng City’s Strange Realm Square.
“341B strange realm was still the same as before. It didn’t change much.”
However, there were fewer and fewer martial artists in the hall.
In the center of the hall, there was an exhibition stand. The items on it were very familiar to Chen Yu.
It was the motherboard that he had once sold to the black market…
“Tsk tsk.”
After walking around the exhibition stand, Chen Yu smiled, tightened his mask, walked to the service desk, and said to the staff at the counter, “Can I enter?”
“Yes.”
“Are the tickets still free?”
“Yes. Other than the tickets, this latest model of protective clothing was also rented for free. The production in the foreign land is already very rich. Look, that electronic board is an example. The government will buy the things inside at a high price.” The staff worked hard to publicize it.
But to Chen Yu, it was nonsense…
Even the protective clothing was free, and there were no people around. It could be seen that this strange realm had reached the edge of ‘deserted’.
After taking the protective clothing, Chen Yu entered the changing room with familiarity and suddenly sneered.
With his sharp senses, he had long discovered that he was being followed.
And there seemed to be more than one organization that was following him.
Taking off his mask and putting on the protective clothing, Chen Yu slowly took out a new Tang blade from his long bag.
The blade was sharp and shimmering with a faint cold light.
He was determined to obtain the human gene annotation and the Revival Potion.
