Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 42 Flander: Little Mistress~

"I'm not qualified?!"

Upon hearing Li Yusong's words, Tang San reacted as if he had heard some absurd joke, and subconsciously let out a cold laugh.

This is a case of laughing in extreme anger.

I, Tang San, cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and also know the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. I often forge iron, so how could I possibly be unqualified?

Li Yusong was not angered by his cold laugh, and said calmly:

"Hmm, while it's clear you've had a history of long hours of strenuous work, like blacksmithing or pulling carts, you have some unhealthy habits that are causing problems with your kidneys."

"Stop! Don't say any more!"

Tang San stopped Li Yusong with a look of horror. He had already guessed what Li Yusong wanted to say. If he let him say it, wouldn't he lose face completely?

Moreover, the rumors about him and Dai Mubai are currently only circulating within a small circle, because most people who hear the rumors don't know him or his name. Therefore, he doesn't want to embarrass himself at Shrek Academy. Otherwise, some onlookers might recognize him and he would become a huge star.

Tang San accepted the ten gold soul coins from Li Yusong, his face turning pale and then flushed, unsure of what to do next.

Just then, Li Yusong and Flander both woke up at the same time. The latter, in particular, felt a pang of heartache and could hardly breathe when he thought about how he had just sent out several hundred gold soul coins!

That money was all hard-earned through deception and swindling!

Flander resisted the urge to slap himself, looked at Tang San, and suddenly an idea came to him. Ignoring the pangs of heartache, he quickly said:

"Ahem, that's true, but it's not like there's no hope. How about this: after the assessment, come to my office, and I'll arrange another assessment. If you pass that, you can enroll."

He wanted to extort money from students like Tang San who had failed the selection process, in order to make up for the money he had just given out, and at the same time, make an extra profit.

"I'm so smart!"

Just as Flanders was thinking this, an uncontrollable thought suddenly popped into his mind:

"I earn money so I can give it away. I want to do charity, and I want to be the most generous man in the world!"

Flander looked at the ranks and announced loudly:

"Next! Hurry up!"

At this moment, carriages came rushing in from all directions, and figures quickly jumped off the carriages, including young people who had just come of age, old men over fifty, and old women carrying vegetables in their hands.

"We're here to register!"

Flanders chuckled and said:

"Report it, you can report it!"

. . . . . . .

Tang San was overjoyed after hearing Flander's words, thinking to himself that he was indeed the protagonist and there was still a chance for him to turn things around. So he found a shady spot under a tree and waited for the assessment to end.

Bai Yu, under the guise of waiting with Tang San, also waited there. Once the effects of the modifications on Flander wore off, he would continue to modify him, striving to make Flander bleed profusely.

It wasn't until a heavily pregnant woman received ten gold soul coins and left beaming that Flander patted his pockets, frowned, and called Dai Mubai over.

"Dai Mubai, go to the money exchange in Soto City and borrow money, using Shrek Academy as collateral. Borrow as much as you can!"

Dai Mubai opened his mouth wide, speechless.

"Dean, are we giving up?"

Flanders snapped angrily:

"What's there to be afraid of? I can pay it back!"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. He had been watching for a long time and still couldn't figure out why Flander was giving out money. He even went to ask Zhao Wuji, who came over but was scolded and sent away by Flander.

Are you doing charity here?

But since Flander had given such an order, Dai Mubai dared not disobey and had no choice but to walk toward Soto City.

Suddenly, Bai Yu stopped him and asked:

"Senior, it's already dusk. Can we rest for the night and take the other assessments tomorrow?"

Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Okay, the assessment period has already passed, I will talk to the dean."

"Thanks."

Having confirmed that Flander had delivered all the savings, Bai Yu walked to Tang San's side, glanced at the twilight sky, and said:

"Xiao San, let's go. Let's stay in the village for a day, and we'll do the assessment again tomorrow."

Xiao Wu didn't want to stay here to wait for Tang San, so Bai Yu told her to go to the village to find a place to stay.

Tang San nodded. He planned to go to Flander's office after dinner.

. . . . . .

"Sigh, my mistress is gone, and I don't want to stay in Notting City anymore. People there talk bad about me every day, so I've come to you, Flander."

In Flander's office, Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander with some anticipation.

He knew that Flander had saved a lot of money over the years, and his salary as a teacher at Shrek Academy was definitely higher than that at Notting Academy!

However, faced with his expectant gaze, Flanders simply puffed on his pipe intermittently without saying a word.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but frown and ask:

"Flander, what happened?"

Flanders remained silent, his eyes fixed on the floor, his pupils unfocused.

Just as Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and several snobbish men walked in, their tone barely concealing their amusement:

"Mr. Flander, the usury contract you signed with us to borrow money has been completed, and the money you borrowed has been deposited into your account. Shrek Academy now belongs to our bank."

Yu Xiaogang froze, looking at Flander, who remained silent like a statue.

At this moment, the bank's staff member said with a smile:

"Dean Flander, don't be too sad. Our money lender's boss said that we only want ownership, but the position of dean is still yours, and you will still be in charge of all the affairs of the academy."

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched. Wasn't the acting dean just an employee too? What was Flander thinking? Why did he mortgage Shrek Academy?

Flanders was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"I see."

. . . . . .

A little later, Tang San knocked on Flander's office door.

With his disheveled hair and puffy eyes, Flandra looked as if he had aged thirty years in half a day. He opened the door, startling Tang San!

"Dean, Dean, what's wrong?"

Flander didn't speak, but beckoned Tang San to come in.

Now all Flanders could do was extort a little bit at a time, he thought sadly.

He didn't understand why he was doing charity work and distributing money, even going so far as to have Dai Mubai use Shrek Academy as collateral to borrow money from loan sharks. In short, he now had a large sum of money, enough to cover the academy's expenses in the short term, but the crucial point was that the academy was no longer his!

While Flander was grieving, Tang San carefully chose his words and spoke:

"Dean, you want me to come to your office tonight for an assessment. What will the assessment cover?"

Flander gave Tang San a deep look and said in a hoarse voice:

"What do you think the assessment will be?"

He planned to lay the groundwork to trick Tang San into paying money.

Tang San actually started to think about it seriously, and the office fell silent for a moment.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu was in a room not far away, watching this scene with his Fiery Eyes of Truth.

As for the problem of not being able to hear, he kept seeing narration flashing before his eyes, through which he could roughly understand the content of the conversation.

[Plot: Flander summoned Tang San to his office, intending to blackmail him]

Bai Yu changed "extortion" to

In the office, Tang San offered several answers, all of which were rejected by Flander. At that moment, Flander suddenly thought of Tang San's "heroic" figure handing out money during the day, of his years of savings being squandered, and of Shrek Academy being mortgaged, and a nameless anger rose within him.

He subconsciously looked up and saw Tang San's face, which was deep in thought, and the alluring look between Tang San's brows. He couldn't help but swallow and suddenly felt an urge to vent his nameless anger.

At this moment, Tang San lowered his head and said sincerely:

"Dean, I don't know, please tell me."

A wicked glint flashed in Flander's eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth, which was surrounded by a beard, and chuckled:

"Okay, Little San San, I'll tell you now~"
