【Affection points with the school’s Chinese teacher increased by 10. Current affection: 35.】
Qi Xu straightened his back proudly and even bent down to pick up some trash near the doorway, tossing it into the bin.
Only when he heard the notification that his affection points had reached 40 did he realize how seriously he had to take this role-playing—everything felt unnervingly realistic.
After stepping out, Qi Xu didn’t dare wander around. Instead, he clutched his prepared study materials and crouched in the hallway, scribbling answers over and over—though in reality, he was just memorizing them.
Yesterday, he’d prioritized the Chinese exam, so the toast bread hadn’t even made it to his study session for this subject.
Now, with time still left, he rewrote the answers repeatedly with his survival-brand pen.
For math, the steps were crucial. Just writing the final answer wouldn’t cut it—Qi Xu worried the teacher might lose it if he skipped the process, so he made sure to memorize everything meticulously.
Before long, the bell rang.
The Chinese teacher left with the exam papers, and the math teacher arrived.
He was an elderly man with glasses so thick they could tell stories, radiating scholarly vibes—except his fists were stained with blood...
The man spoke little, walking straight into the classroom and handing out the tests.
Only after entering did Qi Xu notice there were two proctors—the other one was Bian!
Bian wore a stern expression, her tiny frame rigid with seriousness, looking utterly adorable. Qi Xu instantly relaxed.
Even the stern math teacher brightened up at the sight of Bian, grinning like she was his long-lost daughter.
The exam began shortly after.
Qi Xu didn’t dare answer too quickly, afraid of drawing suspicion. If the math teacher decided to strike up a conversation, Qi Xu wouldn’t have a clue how to explain his reasoning.
Bian kept patrolling near Qi Xu, clearly worried the math teacher might randomly approach him. She was there as a safeguard.
Qi Xu had already decided to bolt the moment the math exam ended—this knowledge wasn’t his, and even though he knew the answers, the guilt gnawed at him.
The math teacher’s approach to underperformers was far more brutal: a single punch to the skull, reducing them to a pulpy mess...
Qi Xu didn’t dare look.
Luckily, he finished all the problems without the math teacher checking his paper.
Bian casually picked up his test, flipped through it with feigned scrutiny, and spotted a few minor errors. Her eyes lit up with admiration for the Whirlwind Leader.
Smart move—now she didn’t have to secretly correct anything.
She then took the paper straight to the math teacher, who nodded in approval and pulled out a small spark badge. Striding over, he pressed it onto Qi Xu’s forehead—though a bit too forcefully, nearly knocking him backward.
"Youngsters these days have such poor stamina. Skipping PE, huh?"
Qi Xu bared his teeth in a forced smile.
Once dismissed, he turned and left without a second glance. The moment he stepped out, he slapped the little red flower from the Chinese teacher onto his forehead too, beaming with pride.
The rhinoceros security guard spotted him from afar. "Top student, finished your exams?"
"Yep, aced them! Got two spark badges."
"Impressive, impressive. If only my grandson could survive a few more days at school..."
The guard looked envious.
Qi Xu pulled out yesterday’s practice sheets. "Here’s a summary of key problems. Give it to your grandson."
【Affection points with the rhinoceros security guard increased by 10. Current affection: 30.】
Qi Xu: Hehehe... ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
He’d gambled right—no parent could resist study notes from a top student.
The guard accepted them with both hands. "Thank you so much! Can’t take this for free—here, have this."
Qi Xu examined the gift: a weapon.
〖Rhinoceros Guard’s Baton: Zaps troublemakers. The stronger the enemy, the stronger the current.〗
Though the description was brief, Qi Xu immediately sensed its extraordinary potential.
He decided to upgrade it with a weapon enhancement card!
"You’re too kind. I’ll compile all my study notes and bring them next time I see you."
"Sure, sure! You’re a good kid."
After pocketing the "good kid" label, Qi Xu asked to leave the school. The guard didn’t even ask for a pass—just swung the gate open and waved goodbye.
Qi Xu took deep breaths, exhilarated. The post-exam high was something he hadn’t felt in years...
He skipped along the road, spotting a violent bear—an orange-tier monster—loitering near his vehicle. At this point, it was hardly a threat. Qi Xu charged at it, flailing like a mad shaman.
The bear was startled. No surprise—school staff and students alike were all a little unhinged!
Qi Xu didn’t use his chainsaw, opting to test the baton’s feel instead.
One strike scorched the bear’s abdomen, making it howl and swing wildly at Qi Xu’s head.
After experimenting a bit, Qi Xu stored the baton—even at its best, it was still a Tier-1 weapon with limits.
Once he’d had his fun, he switched to the chainsaw. Its dual offense-defense combo made quick work of the bear.
Back in the vehicle, Little Seven and Sweet Girl were training.
Qi Xu had assigned drills to both. Pets, like human players, couldn’t rely solely on talent or gear—that’d only create a fake powerhouse.
Daily discipline was key. No slacking, no relying on luck.
So Little Seven practiced high jumps while Sweet Girl did crunches... Everyone had to train!
Basic strength exercises never hurt anyone, right?
Qi Xu happily hugged both, then checked the group chat to update everyone.
"I’m back safe and sound!"
Chinese Master Chef: "Nice, nice! Just finished exams? Must be tired—what do you wanna eat?"
Old White Dragon in the Waves: "Boss, if I memorize the math answers, can I pass too? I wanna try being a top student for once—never had that glory in my life."
Whirlwind Leader: "Don’t, bro. I was sweating bullets. If Bian hadn’t been there, I might not have made it back."
Old White Dragon in the Waves: "Say no more. My curiosity’s gone."
Bubbly Girl Guo Degang: "Hahaha! High school math isn’t hard. Wanna learn? I’ll teach you."
Old White Dragon in the Waves: "Nah, I’m good. I’m out."
If he hadn’t bothered studying in school, why torture himself in a survival game?
