Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2035: Chapter 2035: Hesitating to Return (2)

The difference between Dongyang Middle School and Huahai Middle School is like the difference between city and county.

Students at Huahai Middle School generally do not have outstanding grades. Such students, as a school aiming for a higher graduation rate, Dongyang Middle School is not very keen to accept.

If they do accept these students, would it mean their school is not performing up to par?

However, the newly built teaching building of Dongyang Middle School in this area has enough space to accommodate so many students.

Other schools simply can’t accommodate so many students, so even though Dongyang Middle School is reluctant, these students can only be temporarily merged, as they can’t just leave them without a school to attend, right?

Bei Xiaoxiao and the others are supposedly here for studying, but it’s more like they are just passing the time.

The original host couldn’t gain an advantage when encountering them.

Additionally, the original host’s personality was such that she had no friends, leaving her without anyone to ask for help in the end.

Chuzheng left the cafeteria, planning to find the person who had just overturned her tray for a reckoning.

She had just arrived, and that person operated in such a sneaky way that she didn’t react in time.

But this grudge must be avenged!

However, Chuzheng couldn’t find the person after looking around.

[Main Quest: Please sponsor the school’s drama club performance, limited to three days.]

Chuzheng: ”...” Can I avenge myself first?

[Miss, trust me!]

I trust you, my foot.

[...]

Chuzheng exchanged a few words with the King’s Account and still couldn’t find anyone as the class bell rang.

Returning to the classroom, Chuzheng discovered the original host really was quite transparent, at least no one noticed her when she entered.

Chuzheng found the original host’s seat and sat down, taking the opportunity to glance at the game’s main quest.

[Main Quest: Progress of becoming a Scholar God 0%]

Scholar God?

What’s so difficult about that?

The master fears no exam!

Chuzheng pulled out the original host’s test papers and was almost shocked off her chair by the scores on them.

Physics, twenty-three points.

Fantastic score!

Chuzheng looked at other subjects’ test papers, and the scores in Chinese and English were relatively okay, at least in the upper-middle tier.

But as for mathematics, physics, and chemistry...

They are completely at the bottom!

The bias is too extreme, hey!!

It seems this world doesn’t have arts and science classifications, so when it comes to the final exams, that will be quite tragic.

Fortunately, my scores are good.

No worries, no worries.

Chuzheng calmly stuffed the papers back into the desk, and the teacher had already started the lesson up front. Chuzheng pulled out the textbook for this class and began reviewing from the beginning.

The original host is now in the first semester of the second year of high school. Chuzheng quickly marked the key points of each subject to plan how to catch up on this knowledge.

The day students do not attend evening self-study, but the original host is a boarding student, so she will study until eight-thirty in the evening.

After self-study, Chuzheng sluggishly returned to the dormitory.

In the corridor, some girls were laughing and playing, and the noise could be heard two floors away.

The original host’s dorm was at the very end, so Chuzheng avoided those playing girls and pushed open the dormitory door.

It was a four-person dorm, and the other three roommates were already there.

One was working on problems at the desk, another was doing yoga on a mat on the floor, and the last one seemed to be video-chatting with someone, laughing joyfully.

When Chuzheng came in, these three didn’t react, as if she were invisible.

”Hey, pour me a glass of water.”

Chuzheng was walking past the girl working on problems when she suddenly spoke up.

These three roommates usually treated her as invisible, but when they needed something, they were unhesitant to order her around.

Chuzheng acted as if she hadn’t heard, going straight to her own bed.

The girl working on problems looked up at Chuzheng: ”I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?”

Chuzheng continued to ignore her.

”Hang Chuzheng!” The girl slammed down her pen, her voice rising: ”Are you deaf?”

The girl video-chatting took off her earphones, looking over at Chuzheng in confusion.

The girl doing yoga also stopped and looked over.

”Is your hand broken? Do I need to pour water for you? I’m not your servant! Why should I pour water for you?”

Jiang Jing—? The girl working on problems widened her beautiful eyes, then her face took on a strange expression.

In the past, when asked to do something, she wouldn’t say anything. What’s up with today?

Jiang Jing wasn’t exactly a school bully, just used to getting others to do things for her to avoid doing it herself.

With Chuzheng’s attitude today, she felt a bit uneasy.

Better avoid trouble...

”Fine, don’t go then.” Jiang Jing mumbled, got up herself, and went to pour the water.

Ye Mengyue and Lu Xinyi, who were doing yoga, exchanged glances, shrugged, and went back to their own activities.

[Main Quest: Please prepare comfortable bedding for yourself, limited to two hours.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

It’s already almost nine o’clock. According to the original host’s memory, there’s only half an hour before lights out. Where am I supposed to prepare these things?

[Miss, that’s a question for you to consider. You can do it, Miss, believe in yourself! We’re here to create the impossible!!] The King’s Account’s tone was annoyingly teasing, making Chuzheng want to punch someone.

Fine!

You’re really something!

Chuzheng clenched her fists, quickly left the dormitory.

As soon as Chuzheng left, Jiang Jing looked at Ye Mengyue, still doing yoga: ”Has she gone mad?”

”Did something shock her?” Lu Xinyi chimed in: ”I seemed to see some students transferred from Huahai talking to her yesterday, but I don’t know what they said. Perhaps she got bullied?”

”Why would anyone bully her?” Jiang Jing didn’t understand.

”Because she’s easy to bully.” Lu Xinyi: ”You order her around all the time too, don’t you?”

”...”

”Even a rabbit bites back when cornered.” Ye Mengyue’s voice was sweet: ”It’s better not to provoke her too much. We’ll be living together for a long time, no need to cause unnecessary drama.”

”I can’t be bothered with her!” Jiang Jing snorted and went back to doing her problems.

-

Seniors, whether day scholars or boarders, must study at school until nine-thirty in the evening.

Outside the school gates, parents were waiting to pick up students, with motorbikes, bicycles, cars, and food stalls turning the school entrance into a marketplace.

Chuzheng left the school, found a nearby store still open, and bought two sets of the most expensive bedding according to the prices.

With her purchases in hand, as Chuzheng exited the store, she caught sight of a boy standing in the bookstore diagonally opposite.

The loosely fitting Dongyang Middle School uniform draped over him, the zipper half undone.

One side of the uniform was on his shoulder, while the other had slipped off, revealing a white T-shirt underneath.

His hair was dyed a rebellious wine red, making him stand out prominently.

In the bright lights, the boy was intently looking at the bookshelf, seemingly captivated by a particular book.

Too far away, Chuzheng couldn’t see what was on the shelf.

A bus passed right in front of Chuzheng, and when she looked again, the boy was no longer there.

All this happened in a matter of seconds, making Chuzheng wonder if she had imagined it.

Exhaling, Chuzheng carried her items back towards the school.
