"Hehe..."
"Hehehehe..."
A very strange laugh spread out.
Everyone in the classroom looked toward the back row, all with weird expressions.
A boy was resting his head on the desk, repeatedly making strange laughter, his body trembling with excitement.
"Chen Shu!"
The teacher at the podium suddenly darkened his face and spoke coldly.
However, only the "hehe" laughter responded to him.
The homeroom teacher Li Yuan finally couldn't hold back, holding a piece of chalk and directly throwing it at Chen Shu.
Whoosh!
...
...
As expected, the chalk hit Chen Shu's deskmate precisely.
"Teacher Li... I..."
Zhang Dali looked very wronged—how could he get hit while just sitting there?
"Wake Chen Shu up!" Li Yuan said with a calm face.
"Chen Shu! Chen Shu!" Zhang Dali could only obey, pushing his deskmate.
"Don't make trouble... hehehe..."
But Chen Shu still shook his body, accompanied by his sly laughter.
Seeing this, Li Yuan's face grew darker and darker, about to explode.
Zhang Dali knew he had to do something.
"School's over..."
Zhang Dali said quietly.
"Let's go!"
Chen Shu almost reacted instinctively, suddenly standing straight, even kicking the chair a bit.
Seeing this scene, the classmates couldn't help but laugh softly.
Chen Shu just woke up, feeling a little sluggish, looking confused.
It's just dismissal, why laugh so loudly?
Can't you be as calm as me?
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and suddenly saw a big dark face filling his view.
"What the hell?!" he shouted.
The next second, Chen Shu reacted immediately, his body jolting sharply.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Li..."
"Having a sweet dream?"
Li Yuan's face was as black as coal, making people worry if he might spontaneously combust.
"No... hehe..."
Chen Shu hurriedly shook his head, seeming to recall the dream scene and laughed again.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.
"Big bro, you really are fearless..."
Zhang Dali nearby was full of admiration, practically looking up to a life idol.
Chen Shu realized and forced himself to stop laughing, keeping silent.
"Why sleep during class?" Li Yuan's face was serious.
"As a student, sleeping during math class is reasonable, right?" Chen Shu thought to himself.
But seeing Li Yuan's angry face, he held back from saying it aloud.
Li Yuan glared and then seemed to think of something, no longer angry.
He returned to the podium and pointed at the blackboard.
"What's the answer to this question I just taught? Get it wrong and get out of the classroom."
Chen Shu shuddered and rubbed his eyes.
But when he saw the question, he instantly felt confused.
"In the early period of the Revival Era, what is the incantation for a Beast Master to sign a contract with a spirit?"
Chen Shu looked puzzled, philosophical questions appearing in his mind.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What the hell is this?"
Isn't this math class?
Isn't the Black Whirlwind Li Kui the math teacher?
Seeing Chen Shu stunned, Li Yuan's face grew darker, and the chalk in his hand was crushed.
His anger rose rapidly, ready to unleash his ultimate move.
At that moment, Chen Shu knew he had to come up with an answer to save the situation.
Incantation... incantation...
Finally, he cautiously spoke.
"Odd times even stays the same, the sign… look at the quadrant?"
Slap!
Li Yuan couldn't hold it any longer and slammed his palm on the desk.
"What the hell is that!"
"Teacher Li, don't be angry, give him one more chance!"
Chen Shu quickly spoke, trying to temporarily calm the homeroom teacher's anger.
"Answering questions is beyond my knowledge, multiple choice questions are my strength!"
"Multiple choice, multiple choice! Are you only capable of doing multiple choice?!"
Li Yuan roared loudly, even the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
Ding! The Beast Master Choice System successfully activated!
The voice ringing in Chen Shu's mind made him even more confused.
Immediately, three options appeared before his eyes.
Option 1: Honestly admit the mistake and promise not to repeat it. Completion reward: a small amount of Beast Master energy.
Option 2: Spread your hands and sincerely say: "I wanted to be a top student to get along with you all, but got alienated instead. I admit it, I'm a poor student and know nothing!" Completion reward: Low-grade flame potion.
Option 3: Stay silent and keep your head down. Completion reward: Contract spirit obedience +1.
Main character aura?!
Though confused, Chen Shu's reaction was quick — this was obviously special treatment.
It seemed he only needed to make a choice to get various rewards.
Though he didn't know what the rewards were for,
he decided not to care and just pick.
He glanced quickly and immediately drew a conclusion.
The three rewards all looked mediocre — "small amount," "low-grade," "+1" — all sounding unimpressive.
"What a stingy system."
Though the rewards seemed poor, the low-grade flame potion seemed to have the best use.
As for the options themselves, Chen Shu didn't care at all, only the rewards mattered.
Men should be fearless in the mundane world...
Besides, following the "two short, one long" universal rule, he should choose option two.
Chen Shu calmly looked at Li Yuan, then scanned the whole class, as if inspecting like a leader, almost striking an official pose.
Then he spread both hands with a serious expression.
"I wanted to be a top student and get along with everyone, but all I got was alienation."
At this point, Chen Shu sighed deeply.
"I admit it, I'm a poor student and know nothing!"
Silence!
Dead silence!
Even the air in the classroom seemed frozen.
Everyone looked at Chen Shu, admiration nearly overflowing from their eyes.
A model for us all!
Who in the grade would dare charge at the "Black Whirlwind's" gun barrel?
This was like standing at the eye of a storm, tightly holding onto the sun and moon's rotation!!
"Chen Shu, come with me to the office!"
Li Yuan's face suddenly became calm but overwhelmingly oppressive.
Seeing Li Yuan leave the classroom, Chen Shu straightened his shirt, and a voice rang in his mind.
"Choice successful! Reward obtained: Low-grade flame potion!"
"Due to host's bravery, additional reward: Contract spirit obedience +1!"
"The potion has been automatically placed into the system space!"
Chen Shu stepped out of the classroom slowly, like a warrior about to march into battle.
All the classmates saluted him, as if awaiting his triumphant return.
A bloody storm was about to begin.
After the two left, the students started whispering.
"What's going on? Did Chen Dapi take medicine? So brave?"
"This is practically challenging the Black Whirlwind's authority. Even the top Beast Master talents in the grade wouldn't be this reckless."
"Dali, what's the situation? You're Chen Pi's deskmate, do you know what's happening?"
Although Chen Shu's name sounded proper, he was too wild.
His way of thinking wasn't on the same channel as normal people, hence the nickname Chen Pi.
Zhang Dali straightened his back, full of pride.
"Nonsense, my deskmate is definitely no ordinary person. I told you long ago, he's super brave."
