The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 6 The One-Sided God of War [Please recommend and add to your favorites]

There are three types of mental states among high school students:

My Struggle

To Live

The Cthulhu Mythos

Zhang Muchen is different; he is "The Outsider".

She's bright and has impressive English grades that impress teachers. She doesn't like causing trouble; all she wants is to make money.

She has a good personal relationship with her homeroom teacher and also with the dean of students' academic affairs.

Zhang Muchen didn't care about getting into a prestigious university; for him, any university would be enough. His parents couldn't control him either.

Basically, the buffs are fully stacked.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Muchen chose to live a carefree life. So when he saw the school beauty Chu Jiuli seemingly flirting with his younger sister, he was very indignant.

He's a seasoned veteran of the underworld, and he despises two types of people the most: scheming women and sycophants.

Now that we've caught one, can we still give her a friendly look?
When Chu Jiuli heard Zhang Muchen's "Dong dong qiang Lion," she unconsciously tightened her grip on the ballpoint pen, leaving a deep mark on the test paper.

"Please be serious," Chu Jiuli said coldly.

“Oh, there’s another translation, Cosplay Lion,” Zhang Muchen said.

"Never mind." She took the exam paper back. "I don't need you to translate it anymore."

To be honest, she now regrets being classmates with Zhang Muchen.

This person is inexplicably hostile towards me.

English class has begun.

The English teacher was a retired teacher who had been rehired. She was over sixty years old and her name was Li Cuilan.

This teacher is a veteran figure at the school, and many current teachers at the school were once her students.

Li Cuilan is gentle and meticulous in her teaching. She is kind to all her students, but seems to have a special fondness for Zhang Muchen.

Zhang Muchen is the English class representative and always actively cooperates with the teacher to help maintain classroom order.

The moment Li Cuilan stepped into the classroom, Zhang Muchen immediately stood up and coughed lightly.

"Hello teacher."

Seeing this, the clerk reached out and nudged the student sitting next to him, urging him in a low voice, "Quick, stand up."

After saying that, he was the first to respond to Zhang Muchen.

After a brief silence in the classroom, several classmates who were on good terms with Zhang Muchen stood up one after another.

As soon as these people stood up, the others followed suit.

"Hello, teacher—"

Zhang Muchen's steady and powerful voice rang out again, carrying a natural leading aura.

"Hello, teacher—"

The other students in the class followed closely behind, their voices loud and clear.

A faint smile appeared on Li Cuilan's face as she stood on the podium. Her face, marked by the passage of time, looked especially kind at this moment.

She gently raised her hand and said in a gentle tone, "Alright, everyone, please sit down and get ready for class."

"Everyone, take out the mock exam from the day before yesterday. Today we'll go over the reading comprehension section we didn't finish last time."

A slight rustling sound filled the classroom as students began searching for their exam papers. Meanwhile, the sycophantic Chen Hao muttered something under his breath:
"Damn, what a show-off."

He glanced at the most popular spot in the back row of the classroom. Zhang Muchen was sitting there, calmly flipping through his test paper, with the school beauty Chu Jiuli next to him, as quiet as a painting.

"Why should I?" Chen Hao cursed inwardly, feeling frustrated.

Zhang Muchen lives a carefree and leisurely life. Moreover, although Liu Wuyang may seem to scold and beat Zhang Muchen on the surface, she actually gives him the green light in everything he does.

What infuriated Chen Hao even more was that Zhang Muchen didn't seem like someone who studied diligently all the time, so how could he score 149 points in English?! "Don't be jealous of him. His mind isn't on Chu Jiuli at all," the advisor comforted him, seeing through Chen Hao's thoughts.

Chen Hao asked in confusion, "Didn't you analyze Zhang Muchen's feigned indifference in math class?"

The advisor said, "I was just kidding."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Damn it."

After a pause, he couldn't help but say angrily, "But I just can't stand his pretentious attitude."

The advisor scratched his head. "Where did Zhang Muchen show off? He just called me 'teacher,' okay?"

Just as they finished speaking, Li Cuilan's voice suddenly rang out, drawing their attention back to the podium.

"I've photocopied Zhang Muchen's English essay section for everyone. You can take a look and learn from it. He lost one point this time because he misspelled a word; otherwise, he would have gotten a perfect score of 150."

Li Cuilan changed the subject, her gaze falling on Zhang Muchen, "Zhang Muchen, how could you misspell such a simple word?"

"I wrote it wrong on purpose, I didn't want to get full marks," Zhang Muchen replied casually.

The classroom fell silent instantly, as if only the ticking of a clock could be heard in the air.

"..."

"Grass."

Chen Hao gritted his teeth, "Isn't this showing off?"

The advisor patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I also got 149 in English, I could put on an even better act than him."

Chen Hao didn't bother to reply. He glanced down at his English essay score—out of 15, he only got 7, barely passing.

Before he could even catch his breath, Li Cuilan had already handed out the photocopies of Zhang Muchen's essay.

Chen Hao picked up the photocopy, glanced at it, and frowned even more deeply.

The paper was neat and tidy, and the language was fluent. However, it even used some words and complex sentence structures that were clearly beyond the syllabus. This was not at all the level of high school English.

What are these words?

Chen Hao stared at it for a long time, as if he were looking at a book written in a foreign language.

The advisor then picked up the photocopy in his hand and waved it in front of Chen Hao like a fan, a hint of mockery on his lips: "Do you know what the most pretentious thing is?"

Chen Hao rolled his eyes in annoyance: "What is it?"

"The most pretentious thing is this photocopy. Every student in the class has a copy of Zhang Muchen's essay. His essays are the template."

Chen Hao froze for a moment, instantly feeling his blood pressure spike. Clutching the paper, he finally managed to stammer, "Damn... who in their right mind learns English?"

The advisor sighed and patted his shoulder.

At this moment, Li Cuilan said from the podium: "There will be a city-wide English competition after New Year's Day. The school attaches great importance to this competition. Students who can win a city-wide ranking will also have the opportunity to represent the school in the provincial competition. Therefore, the school has arranged a policy - participating students can skip evening self-study and gather in an empty classroom on the seventh floor to study English."

"Of course, this is voluntary. Everyone should act according to their own circumstances and not let the competition interfere with their studies in other subjects."

"Our class has ten spots. I'll give two spots to Chu Jiuli and Zhang Muchen first. Does anyone else want to participate?"

Soon, several students with excellent English grades raised their hands. Li Cuilan called out names and recorded them, and the ten spots were quickly filled.

Zhang Muchen wasn't particularly interested in this kind of English competition. But since the grade head, Director Wang, specifically mentioned his name and asked him to get a good result, he could only do his best.

Thinking of this, Zhang Muchen lazily stretched, but suddenly heard a familiar notification sound in his mind:

[Note: Please complete the posted tasks as soon as possible. The tasks will disappear in 21 hours.]

"Is there a time limit?"

Zhang Muchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the system interface to check the task details.

[Task: 30-year-old Chu Youting is penniless and can't even afford her favorite potato chips. Please take Chu Youting to the supermarket and buy her her favorite potato chips.]

"Let's see if we can ask Chu Youting to go shopping at the school's small supermarket around dinner time."

Thinking of this, Zhang Muchen gently tapped the table, his eyes sweeping over Chu Jiuli, who was listening attentively to the lesson, and he couldn't help but think:
"Chu Youting, 30 years old, is penniless... What kind of tragic future could she have to end up like this? What did you, her older sister, do?"
