A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

"Ring ring!!"

As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of morning self-study and the homeroom teacher left, the classroom instantly came alive.

"Let's go, let's go, we're starving! Let's go eat!"

"The cafeteria should have meat buns today, right?"

"I was doing coding problems until 2 AM last night, and I desperately need some carbs to keep going..."

People poured out in twos and threes.

Xu Yunzhou threw his textbook on the table and was about to get up...

"Bang!"

A round body stood firmly in front of him, like a small mountain.

Xu Yunzhou looked up and saw the head reflecting the morning light, and his heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile, his smile containing three parts mockery and seven parts amusement.

"Little chick, didn't you say twice in class that you'd eat the whole desk if I could answer your question?"

He patted Xu Yunzhou's desk, the wooden surface making a dull thud.

"Now it's time to keep your promise. Let's start eating! Shall we start with the table leg or the tabletop? Would you like me to add some seasoning? Soy sauce or chili powder?"

"..."

Xu Yunzhou's face instantly darkened.

He never expected that the harsh words he casually muttered in class would not only be heard by Jiang Chen, but that fatso would actually take them seriously.

"Jiang Fatty, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Xu Yunzhou immediately put on an innocent expression and turned to look at his deskmates on either side.

"Did I say in class that we were going to eat the table? No, I didn't, right?"

The tall, thin guy on the left immediately chimed in, "Of course Brother Zhou never said that! Fatty Jiang, are you deaf?"

The man with glasses on the right chimed in, "Exactly! Throwing dirty water on Brother Zhou first thing in the morning, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

"Jiang Fatty, are you getting too cocky?"

The tall, thin man stood up and pointed at Jiang Chen's nose.

"Last time you punched Brother Zhou in the eye like that, we haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you still dare to come here today? Do you want to challenge us to a duel?"

Those who hadn't left the classroom immediately crowded around, their eyes lighting up – this was going to be interesting!

Jiang Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, merely glancing lightly at the three of them.

"Heh, you want a match? No problem!"

"Do you want a one-on-one, or two-on-one? Or...?"

He extended a chubby finger and gently tapped it at the three of them.

"All three of you come at me at once, I'll take you all!"

"Let's see who beats whom today!"

The classroom fell silent for a moment after he finished speaking.

Three against one?

A week ago, Jiang Chen would have been courting death for saying that. How could a fat guy who was out of breath even walking beat anyone?

But today...

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen's bald head and his noticeably smaller belly.

This fat guy seems really different.

Xu Yunzhou and the other two shrank back instinctively when Jiang Chen glared at them.

The tall, thin man and the bespectacled man exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy.

"Zhou Ge is so good, but he still beat us to a pulp last time. Do you think we can beat him if we all gang up on him?"

"I probably could have done it before, but lately this fat guy runs ten kilometers a day and does hundreds of push-ups and squats... This incredible stamina seems a bit dangerous!"

"We can help by saying a few words of abuse, but would we really resort to violence? If Lao Pan finds out, he might make the parents write a self-criticism, or even get reprimanded by the school, which would ruin their college entrance exams..."

The two men immediately chickened out and quietly took a half-step back.

Xu Yunzhou was also feeling uneasy.

The suffocating feeling of being sat on by Jiang Chen last time, and the pain of those two black eyes, are still fresh in my memory.

Would you make him admit defeat in public? Absolutely not!

"Fatty Jiang, you're asking for it..."

He stood up with a stiff upper lip, raising his arm as if to punch Jiang Chen on the head.

"Snapped!"

My wrist was firmly gripped by a fat hand.

Xu Yunzhou was stunned. He tried to pull his hand back, but found that it was as immovable as an iron clamp.

He strained harder, his face turning red, but his wrist was still firmly held in place.

Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile and gently applied force to his hand.

"hiss……"

Xu Yunzhou gasped, his eyes widening in shock, feeling the bones in his wrists cracking.

"How can this fat guy be so strong?"

He stared at Jiang Chen in shock, his mind reeling with turmoil.

Previously, he only thought that Jiang Chen's attack was a sneak attack combined with his superior weight, which was why he was unable to fight back.

Only now did he realize that his strength was not even in the same league as this fat man's!

The onlookers were stunned.

"Holy crap, Jiang Chen pinned Xu Yunzhou down with just one hand?"

"Isn't Xu Yunzhou on the school basketball team? He plays basketball every day, how come he's so weak?"

"It's not that Xu Yunzhou is weak, it's that Jiang Chen is incredibly strong! Look, his sleeves are all bulging!"

"Holy crap, could it be that this fat guy really turned all his fat into muscle after a week of training?"

[Ding! You've received 5 points of amazement!]

[Ding! You've received 10 points of amazement!]

Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy and increased the pressure on his hands.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Xu Yunzhou's forehead was covered in cold sweat, feeling like his wrist was about to break.

His mind was racing.

"What to do? What to do?"

"This fat guy is too strong. I can't beat him one-on-one, and I don't have enough people to fight him in a group... Am I really going to eat the table?"

"But this is solid wood! One bite and your teeth will break!"

"Should I apologize and beg for forgiveness in front of everyone...? Then how am I supposed to face the class after that? The whole class will laugh at me to death..."

Just when he was in a dilemma.

Jiang Chen suddenly loosened his grip and spoke.

"Little chick, you don't have to eat the table if you don't want to!"

"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Let's make a bet and have a competition!"

"How about the loser sings 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf' ten times in front of the whole class?"

Xu Yunzhou: "...?"

He was stunned.

Jiang Chen actually gave him a chance to make a bet?

If you lose the game, do you have to sing "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ten times?

What kind of punishment is this?

If someone loses a bet, they either have to call him "Dad," bark like a dog, or kneel down and kowtow.

But Jiang Chen sang "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ten times? That's just the height of his twisted sense of humor.

After the initial shock, Xu Yunzhou was overjoyed.

"No matter what the punishment is, we have to take this bet! Are we really going to have to chew up the table?"

He immediately gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and tried his best to appear nonchalant.

"Let's bet! Fatty Jiang, what do you want to bet on?"

"Should we compete in basketball? Arena of Valor? League of Legends? Or CS or CF? The choice is yours!"

Xu Yunzhou thought to himself, "I'm a key player on the school basketball team, and I'm a diamond-ranked player in games. Whether it's a basketball game or not, crushing you, you fatso, will be a piece of cake, right?"

However, Jiang Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot and shook his head.

"Little chick, how old are you? Still so childish?"

"We're high school seniors now, with just over three months until the college entrance exam. What's the point of playing basketball games now?"

"If we're going to compare, let's compare academic performance!"

"Next week is the first monthly exam of the semester. Let's see who gets the higher score, how about it?"

"..."

The classroom fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, thinking they had misheard.

Xu Yunzhou burst out laughing.

"Fatty Jiang, what did you say? Compare monthly exam scores? Are you sure?"

Do you know what my class ranking was in the final exams last semester? Eighteenth!

"And you? If I remember correctly, you were second to last... forty-ninth place, right?"

"Haha, comparing the second-to-last student with the eighteenth-place student? Have you lost your mind?"

A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding area.

"Has Jiang Chen gone mad?"

"Just because you recited a passage of classical Chinese this morning, you're already this agitated?"

"Does he really think he's a top student?"

"Hilarious! This bet is totally one-sided!"

Jiang Chen, however, remained unfazed and said with a smile:

"Little chick, just tell me if you dare to take it or not!"

"Yes! Of course I'll answer!"

Xu Yunzhou, fearing he might change his mind, said, "But just singing 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf' is too lenient with you. Let me add another one: the loser has to bark like a dog and crawl around the classroom three times!"

He could almost see Jiang Chen lying on the ground barking, his mouth practically stretched to his ears.

"Sure!" Jiang Chen agreed readily. "It's settled then!"

After the bet was made.

Jiang Chen released Xu Yunzhou's wrist and returned to his seat with a smile.

He had no objection to Xu Yunzhou increasing the stakes.

After all, he won't be the one crawling around barking like a dog.

The reason he was willing to give Xu Yunzhou the opportunity to bet on the monthly exam results was simply to better show off in front of others and earn more "amazing points".

But the way the onlookers looked at Jiang Chen had changed from "shock" to "looking at him like he's an idiot".

"Has this Fatty Jiang been exercising too much these past few days, and it's damaged his brain?"

"He dared to bring up a match that was clearly going to be lost?"

"He's definitely going to make a huge fool of himself in public this week..."
