Not a god

Chapter 179 Today's High School Students
Chen Xi stared at her for a while, until she got really uncomfortable, before finally saying, "Let's go."

"Going back?"

"You're staying here?"

"Let's go."

Seeing that he didn't pursue the matter, Jiang Yan felt the air become more cheerful and quickly followed.

"You even got a parent's autograph for Xiao Luo?"

"He said he needed an adult's autograph, but how am I supposed to write my name when I've just learned it..."

Chen Xi teased her, "Wow, you're amazing! You've only learned two words, and you're already using them right away."

"This isn't because Teacher Chen taught so well..."

Have you finished memorizing all the pinyin?

"I've finished writing it down."

"Go back and recite it from memory."

"No, isn't that unnecessary?"

“There has to be some kind of punishment for doing something wrong. You also promised not to cause me any trouble. If you can’t keep quiet about it, I’ll tell Xiaowan about this when we get back.”

Emperor Yan immediately looked pained and let out a wail, but this was just an illusion.

She has been studying diligently these past few days, and she can recite the pinyin chart fluently. Although it is still a bit difficult for her to write it all down from memory, she will be able to do so after copying it a few more times when she gets back.

The reason she looked so bitter was to give the other person the feeling that she had been punished. After all, she would act like a jerk in front of Jiang Wanwan every few days, making her angry. She had a knack for getting rid of people's anger.

She looked pained, but secretly she was overjoyed, feeling that this matter could be let go. She cautiously said, "Then, then I'll just mutter it down and not tell her?"

"I was just kidding. Actually, Xiao Wan already knows."

"!!"

"Stop dawdling and hurry up. I haven't even noted your half-day absence today."

Jiang Yan followed, then reminded him, "This isn't the way out; the door is over there."

“I know, that’s the high school section.”

"High school?"

"Xiao Luo is currently in junior high school. After junior high, he will go to high school."

How many years does it take to go to school here?

"Six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school."

Emperor Yan gestured with his fingers, counting how many years had passed in total... Chen Xi had always thought that counting on fingers was just an exaggerated way of expressing things, until she met him.

"Here, it takes 12 years to go to school!"

“After high school, if you have the opportunity, you can study for a four-year undergraduate degree, then a three-year master’s degree, and then a doctorate… Jiang Wanwan is an undergraduate, and I plan to study for a master’s degree.”

Emperor Yan immediately perked up: "Then what level will I be equivalent to after I finish learning pinyin?"

"...equivalent to taking a step closer to successfully eradicating illiteracy."

What is literacy?

"Eliminate illiteracy."

Emperor Yan looked on in disbelief: "Being expelled for being illiterate? This place is too domineering!"

"...So, if you don't want to be expelled, you'd better get rid of your illiteracy as soon as possible. Look at Asura, he's studying hard."

Of course, Xiao Luo is still in school entirely because his mother is a woman born in the 70s with simple values ​​who firmly believes that education can change one's destiny.

Upon learning that there was no place for the illiterate to live in this society, Emperor Yan felt a little heavy-hearted, and his pensive expression carried the shadow of Yi Yi.

What are you going to do at the high school?

"Let's go see the teacher. Jiang Wanwan and I used to study here too."

This is, after all, Chen Xi's alma mater. It wouldn't be right for him to come back and not visit his high school teachers.

"Oh, oh, little kitten, squeak squeak squeak."

She would pick a couple of leaves from the side of her hand, then kick a small pebble along the way, always walking along the edge of the sidewalk. Lately, she's really into taking pictures with her secondhand phone. Now, seeing the orange cat at school, she pulled out her old phone again, squatted down, and took a close-up shot.

Chen Xi suspected she had ADHD. She glanced back and saw her suddenly catch up, then pulled a piece of chewing gum from her jeans pocket.

You have such a strong loser vibe.

"Boss...do you want some?"

He didn't refuse the chewing gum offered to him and took it.

My high school homeroom teacher was a balding old man in his fifties, nearing retirement age, but he got along very well with his students.

He was alone in the office, drinking tea, taking a sip, and letting out a long sigh. Chen Xi could hear the emotions in his sigh.

Preoccupied.

Chen Xi pushed the door open and entered: "Brother Wang, are you grading papers?"

The old man was startled, and upon closer inspection, exclaimed, "Oh dear, where's Chen Xi? Why did she suddenly return to school today?"

I came back especially to visit you.

"They didn't even mention offering any fruit."

"I came in such a hurry that I forgot about it."

"Haha, Meituan will deliver it very quickly now."

Chen Xi stopped rambling on and explained, "A relative's child is in the junior high school and had a small conflict with a classmate, so I came over to handle it."

"Is the guy who beat someone up today a relative of yours?"

"Brother Wang knows too."

"The school is only so big. I heard that the student behind called his parents and brought his sister over. As a result, she beat up the parents. If her brother hadn't stopped her, she would have beaten up the teacher too."

He shook his head and said, "Young people these days, they're so hot-tempered, especially girls..."

"It's just kids playing around."

He glanced at Emperor Yan beside him, wondering if this was one of his students: "By the way, who is this...?"

"Oh, the one who almost beat up the teacher too."

"..."

The old man was clearly a little uneasy.

"Ha, haha, youthful spirit, I heard that those students were the ones who bullied others first..." Emperor Yan stood aside, looking embarrassed.

Teacher Wang sighed again, "However, those students are really difficult to deal with. Students are so hard to manage these days."

"You looked so worried as soon as you came in. What happened?"

Teacher Wang looked like she had a headache just thinking about it: "These days, all this talk about 'the chosen ones' is just chaos everywhere..."

If you don't spend money, your destiny will naturally awaken. You need to be very close to death to have a chance of successfully awakening. Death in the game is not real death, but the realism is still 15% even if it is low. The awakening probability is also affected by the realism.

This has led to many people being quite resistant to the game even though they know that awakening one's destiny is important. To awaken one's destiny, one must be fearless and willing to do anything.

And now, the most daring and fearless people are generally young people, especially... middle school students.

Jiangcheng No.1 High School has more than 40 classes per grade and more than 7,000 students across three grades. Now, after half a year, the proportion of students who have awakened their destiny is close to 10%, which is nearly 700 people.

This small school is full of hidden talents. In this class, there is a student with "the strength to uproot mountains and the spirit to cover the world", in the next class, there is a student with "the sword that chills fourteen provinces", and in that class, there is a "genius boy Xiao Huohuo".

High school students are generally fifteen or sixteen years old, which is an age when they express their individuality and are under great academic pressure. During this period, there are acrobatic performances to watch on campus every day.

Teenagers in their adolescence love to attract attention and be different. They may think it was silly when they look back many years later, but now they all think they are incredibly cool.

The school rules are now updated almost weekly, and hundreds of inexplicable regulations have appeared in just a few months.

The LED screen on the playground criticizes a certain student for doing something bad every day, and it ends up being used as a record of achievements.

Most importantly, since the emergence of the Chosen Ones, the social atmosphere has gradually become... belligerent.

Everyone has become more sensitive and more prone to arguments than ever before, even adults who have been working as corporate slaves for several years, let alone these immature fifteen- or sixteen-year-old teenagers who are easily swayed by their emotions.

Chen Xi suddenly realized: "No wonder the teacher seemed to take it all in stride when I went to deal with the assault incident involving my relative's child today."

"Ugh, they cause trouble every few days. Junior high is alright, there are fewer people, and the rebellious phase doesn't start as early. High school is really something else!"

The old man complained to Chen Xi that he had two troublesome classmates in his class. He said that after finishing teaching this class, he would retire, but he would be worried every day at home, fearing that his parents would call him unexpectedly and ruin his reputation in his old age.

Although it was terrible, Chen Xi found it amusing to hear him describe his miserable life.

The revival of spiritual energy and the awakening of destiny have had a multifaceted impact on society. Schools have been having a major headache lately about how to manage these students with destiny.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan said, "Teacher Wang, this is simple, I can handle it."

Chen Xi and the old man were both taken aback. Teacher Wang tentatively asked:

"What insightful opinion does this young Jiang have?"

"That's easy! Call those two students from your class out, I'll beat them up and make them submit. You tell them that if they dare to cause trouble again, they should call me back. It'll work!"

Teacher Wang hesitated, then Chen Xi checked her phone; the takeout had arrived at the door.

"The fruit I ordered from Meituan has arrived. Could you go and get it for me? It's at the security room entrance. Go ahead."

"Huh? Oh."

Seeing the boss's reaction, she felt she had said the wrong thing again. But weren't they just a bunch of arrogant brats who didn't know their place? If they hadn't been beaten before, she could just give them a good beating. It was really strange.

With that thought in mind, she had already placed her hand on the stairwell railing, ready to flip over and jump down.

But then she suddenly remembered that her shoes cost several hundred yuan, enough to buy 100 bottles of Coke, and she couldn't afford to waste them like that, so she obediently went up the stairs.

Watching the person leave, Teacher Wang sighed deeply again, looking worried and distressed.

"It's not just your school that's worried; I guess all high schools are facing this problem right now."

What about our school?

"..."

The old man paused for a moment, took off his glasses, casually wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and looked rather forlorn.

"Last month, a female student suddenly disappeared from school and hasn't been found yet. She was a student in one of my classes, and she was very good at Chinese, always getting high scores on her essays. Sigh..."

"Didn't you look for Maki no Shouji?"

"I looked for it, came here once, but I couldn't find it, so I left."

“They’re very busy.”

"I don't blame anyone."

Did it disappear at school?

She is a boarding student.

Chen Xi guessed that the person was probably already gone. If they disappeared from school, it was most likely because they had a fight with a classmate.

He actually knew that the government and the Ministry of Education had been studying how to manage the current students of the Chosen Ones. Chen Xi had also participated in the discussion of this general idea. It was during the meeting with the three major guilds and government leaders when the Dream Tower project was launched.

Without the revival of spiritual energy, under normal circumstances, educational reforms would likely have been implemented. I won't speculate on how that would have been done, but now that spiritual energy has revived, there are evil remains, and the Destiny Man's industrial economy, everything is easily solved.

In addition to humanities, sciences, sports, and arts at the secondary school level, a subject related to destiny will be added to stream students and establish a special school for those with destiny.

"At that time, the selection process will probably begin in middle school, deciding whether to pursue academic success or destiny, and managing academic students and destiny students separately. You, as an ordinary high school teacher, will only need to deal with normal, ordinary students."

"I'd already retired by then!"

"We're still in the exploratory phase."

"Sigh...that student is a very quiet child."

"Is there anyone you suspect?"

The old man glanced at him, wondering what he was up to, but he remembered that his student was quite capable.

"What do you want to do?"

"Never mind, Brother Wang, wait a minute, let me take a look at what's going on."

With that, he left the office and went outside the teaching building.

Classes were still in session, and the campus was quiet. A chubby orange cat emerged from the bushes, glanced at Chen Xi, recognized him, meowed at him, and rolled on the ground, exposing its belly.

The students have changed several times over, only the school cat still remembers him. The youth campus comedy has changed batch after batch of actors, and when he came back again, he was already an outsider. It's really a sad story.

But students should act like students. What kind of behavior is this, making such a mess?

He made a phone call, and soon a man dressed in an official robe with a full beard appeared.

The man slowly emerged from the shadows, holding a notebook in his hand. He looked down at the notebook and said:

"Boss, boss, we found it. Last month, a girl named Peng Yating did die here. She was born in the year of Xin Si..."

"Get to the point, how did you die?"

"Oh, oh..." The judge glanced at the verdict, clicking his tongue and shaking his head in disbelief.
