The entire classroom fell silent instantly, and even the most mischievous kids shrank back.
Bai Yuekui did not make a big show of his inspection tour. He simply went straight to Principal Qiushi's office and asked for Jiuge's test paper and his study records for the past month.
Principal Qiu Shi stood aside and sighed, "Boss Bai, this can't be entirely blamed on Mai Duo. That Jiu Ge wasn't cooperating at all..."
“I know.” Bai Yuekui flipped through the test paper, his tone calm. “But Maiduo is the chief, and she has a responsibility to set an example and do things well.”
She stood up, walked out of the office, and came to the door of the classroom where "Maiduo" was.
Maiduo was packing her schoolbag to go home when she saw Bai Yuekui appear at the door. She froze for a moment, then quickly regained her composure, but inwardly she was cursing.
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Boss Bai is here to hold us accountable! What are we going to do now?
Bai Yuekui went into the classroom, but instead called "Maiduo" out separately.
She looked down at the eleven-year-old girl, her eyes not filled with reproach, but rather with scrutiny and curiosity.
“Mai Duo,” Bai Yuekui’s voice was low and calm, “I heard you’ve had a tough month?”
"Maiduo" paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! Boss Bai, you don't know, that Jiuge is completely impervious to reason!"
"She ignores me when I talk to her, she stares blankly when I explain problems to her, and she won't eat anything I offer, even when she's hungry! I'm at my wit's end!"
Bai Yuekui watched her exaggerated performance, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips: "So you think you should give up?"
"If Jiuge refuses to cooperate, you can give up. For those who really don't want to integrate into Longbone Village, Longbone Village doesn't force them; they can just be dealt with."
As a force that has managed to survive stably for decades in the apocalypse, Dragonbone Village is by no means a soft-hearted saint; when it's time to kill, no one will hesitate.
But Bai Yuekui's question was clearly not out of a genuine intention to get rid of Jiuge, but rather a subconscious test of the village's outstanding younger generation.
Maido's heart skipped a beat. She knew that if she were to say that she was giving up the drinking song, her reputation with Boss Bai would suffer.
She immediately dropped her playful expression and looked at Bai Yuekui seriously. "Boss Bai, you have to get up where you fall. I really have to teach her the drinking song well and make her wholeheartedly integrate into Dragon Bone Village!"
She paused, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Boss Bai, don't worry about this. I'll handle it myself. If I can't handle it in a month, then I'll do it in two months. If I can't handle it in two months, then I'll do it in six months. I don't believe I can't deal with her."
"I'm 11 years old, but Jiu Ge is 15. I'm younger than her, so she definitely can't outlast me!"
You're staying up all night for this too?
Bai Yuekui stared at her for three seconds, then suddenly chuckled softly.
She reached out and gently patted "Maido" on the head: "Okay, I see your spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and daring to move forward. I look forward to your performance."
After saying that, she turned and left, her steps still light, as if she had just stopped by to tease the neighbor's child.
Bai Yuekui had lost count of how many people she had given such encouragement to, but one by one, those people died before her.
While this doesn't exactly mean he disappointed her, it's still a pity.
She had witnessed Maiduo's excellence. Whether it was the training of Heluo ancient martial arts or the learning and mastery of science and technology, she was undoubtedly the number one in this year's All-Science Academy, and she had widened the gap with the second place by a significant margin.
Even for someone as outstanding as "Maido," the possibility of her eventually becoming someone who can help her is still practically zero.
She only saw some bright spots and was just habitually encouraging the younger generation; she didn't really have high expectations for "Maido".
"Tsk, that startled me." She touched the top of her head where she had been patted and muttered to herself.
Just now, Bai Yuekui's actions made her think that if she put herself in Bai Yuekui's shoes, her own unusual behavior would be discovered and her head would be twisted off. In any case, she would definitely do the same.
Fortunately, Bai Yuekui was not an evil demon after all, and did not have the habit of twisting off people's heads at will.
That evening, she called Jiu Ge to the playground behind the school.
The nights in Longgu Village are not quiet; they are filled with the faint clanging of large machinery in operation.
In a corner of the playground, there were some old fitness equipment piled up, but because they were used frequently and well maintained, they were quite smooth.
The ground was compacted soil, hard as rock when you stepped on it.
It is said that this was created by Boss Bai using her abilities when she established Dragon Bone Village. It is incredibly dense and extremely hard, and it has remained intact for decades.
When Jiu Ge was called here, he looked at "Mai Duo" with a wary expression.
Although she was only fifteen years old, there was already a ruthless look in her eyes, like that of a desperate criminal. Her hands were slightly clenched into fists, ready to strike at any moment.
"Maido" had her back to her and remained silent for a while before slowly turning around.
Then she launched into a tirade against Jiu Ge!
"You think you're so great?! You survived the apocalypse at six, endured countless hardships, and think you're so capable? You look down on me, an eleven-year-old brat, and think I'm not qualified to teach you? What makes you think you are?!"
"You think you're something special just because you survived the wasteland to get here? That only proves you were lucky, it doesn't mean you're any strong!"
"A true strong person is someone who can continuously learn and grow no matter where they are! Not someone like you, who was spared by someone and is still putting on a sour face and acting high and mighty!"
"you……"
A series of angry words came out of her mouth, and "Maiduo" spat out saliva everywhere.
Jiu Ge was stunned by the barrage of insults, but quickly regained his composure, even sporting a disdainful smile.
Such indifferent behavior infuriated "Mai Duo". She didn't want to get a zero on the next monthly exam and lose face.
She looked at Jiu Ge's face, which was full of "what can you do to me?", and suddenly laughed.
That was a dangerous laugh.
Without further ado, she walked directly to Jiu Ge and, to Jiu Ge's astonishment, removed the electromagnetic pulse collar from her neck.
Then "Maido" pulled out a pistol and a dagger from her waist and threw them on the ground in front of Jiuge.
“Don’t you think I’m weak? Don’t you think you shouldn’t be taught by a hothouse flower like me? Fine,” she took two steps back, spreading her hands, “come on, kill me.”
Jiu Ge's eyes widened, and he almost instinctively took two steps back.
Are you crazy?!
"What? You don't dare?" "Maido" tilted her head, her smile carrying a hint of mockery.
"You started venturing into the apocalypse at a very young age, haven't you seen your share of life and death? Killing someone who wants to kill you shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?"
"Or are you afraid this is a trap, afraid that if I shout, a bunch of people will rush out and beat you to death?"
Jiuge bit her lip and didn't speak, but her eyes did start to dart away, and her hand froze in mid-air, never reaching for the pistol on the ground.
"Maido" saw through her hesitation and sneered, "Killing you doesn't require anyone else's help. You overestimate yourself! Since you won't do it—"
She suddenly moved!
Without weapons or any fancy moves, he simply took a step forward, his right hand with five fingers together, and chopped straight at Jiu Ge's face!
A gust of wind whistled through the palm!
Maiduo's physical strength is actually not great. After all, Wulan Maiduo is only an eleven-year-old girl who has not yet awakened her source potential, and Maiduo does not dare to use her true energy.
Her current physical condition is at best that of an ordinary young girl who has practiced ancient martial arts for a few years.
But her awareness of techniques, timing, and understanding of human anatomy are the result of accumulating the experience of countless people!
Having spent years navigating the wasteland, Jiu Ge instinctively dodged the palm strike by sidestepping it, while simultaneously clenching his right fist to counterattack.
However, her punch missed. "Maido" had anticipated her move, lowered her body, and swept her ankle with a kick.
Jiuge jumped up to dodge the sweeping leg, but with nowhere to grab leverage while in mid-air, he was punched in the chest by "Maido" and staggered to the ground, suffering a tearing pain in his chest and struggling to breathe.
"That's it?"
"Maido" stood still and said coldly, "Is this the life-and-death combat experience you're so proud of? Your movements are full of flaws, your reactions are stiff, and you can't even control your center of gravity properly."
"What have you relied on to survive in this wasteland until now? Did others risk their lives to protect you?!"
Chapter 194 The Education of Love, This is a Prodigy
"Shut up!" Enraged by her words, Jiu Ge bent down abruptly to pick up the pistol and dagger from the ground, his eyes turning fierce.
Her grip on the gun was practiced, clearly indicating she had used firearms before. She raised the muzzle and aimed it at "Maido's" chest—
Then she hesitated for a moment.
Although she harbored hatred for Dragonbone Village, that hatred was not enough to extend to an eleven-year-old child, and she certainly did not intend to kill "Maido".
Seeing her hesitation, "Maido" sneered: "Hesitant and soft-hearted, you dare to say you've experienced life and death? Now that you've got the gun, don't just stand there, shoot!"
"Think of your comrades, think of your friends. We didn't hesitate for a moment when we killed them!"
"shot!"
Instead of dodging, she strode towards Jiuge, her steps steady and measured, as if she didn't care about the gun at all.
Jiuge's finger was on the trigger, but he couldn't pull it.
This madwoman! This psychopath! Is she really not afraid of death?!
But "Maido" is not afraid of death, she is afraid of wine songs!
She feared that if she fired that shot, not only would she not kill Maido, but she herself would actually be killed by the people of Dragonbone Village! She hadn't lived enough yet!
In the brief moment she hesitated, "Maido" had already walked up to her, and with lightning speed, grabbed the barrel of the gun with her left hand and pushed it upwards.
Jiu Ge had no time to think; faced with the gun being taken away, he instinctively pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the bullet grazed "Maido's" scalp and flew into the air, sending sparks flying from a rusty lamppost above her head.
Immediately afterwards, "Maido" delivered a right elbow strike to Jiuge's forearm. Jiuge felt the pain, his hand loosened, and the pistol flew out of his hand, bouncing twice on the ground.
Jiuge quickly reached for the dagger at her waist, but "Maido" was faster, grabbing her wrist and twisting it outwards before delivering a knee strike to her stomach.
With a muffled groan, Jiu Ge curled up like a shrimp, and "Mai Duo" pushed her, sending her sprawling on her back.
Then she straddled Jiuge, grabbed her right arm, and twisted it hard in Jiuge's horrified gaze!
Click!
A crisp sound of bone breaking.
Jiuge let out a scream, and then "Maido" grabbed her left leg and twisted it in the same way. With another crack, her left leg broke.
The whole process was swift and efficient, taking no more than three seconds.
Jiu Ge was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat and trembling all over, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out. He just stared at "Mai Duo" with eyes full of hatred and shock.
"Maido" stood up, brushed off non-existent dust from her hands, and looked down at Jiuge sprawled on the ground, her tone as indifferent as if she were discussing the weather:
"You are a weakling."
