Chapter 278: Most Awesome Headmaster in History

“What a pity. I didn’t get to cut my hair.”

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, after returning from visiting his maternal grandparents’ home, Chen Yu sighed ruefully as he stood in the lobby of his house’s apartment complex.

Smack!

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, Mother Chen immediately slapped the back of his head. “Are you looking to die?! Your Uncle would rip you apart if he heard that!”

“Mom, you’re too superstitious. Also, can someone as tough as Uncle possibly die from a measly superstition?” Chen Yu said, curling his lips.

“Chen Yu, stay away from me. I don’t wish to scold you during the New Year,” Mother Chen said as she clenched her fists.

“Sure.”

Chen Yu stepped into the elevator while holding two frozen chickens in his left hand and Chen Sanke’s hand with his right hand.

“Big Brother, why can’t you cut your hair during New Year?”

“There’s a feudal superstition that says that cutting your hair during the first lunar month will kill your uncle. However, we are part of the intelligent younger generation, so we don’t believe in that.”

“Oh.” Chen Sanke nodded, not fully understanding the explanation. “In that case, once I grow up and have children, I-I’ll have them cut their hair on—”

Smack!

Chen Yu smacked the back of Chen Sanke’s head before she could finish her sentence. “You looking to die?”

After going through the elevator ride and arriving before their house, Chen Yu unlocked the security door and opened it. And as soon as he opened the door, a black shadow came pouncing at him.

“Pikachu!” Chen Sanke spread her arms and hugged the husky excitedly.

“Woof~” Pikachu wagged its tail fervently, causing the paper lanterns inside the house to shudder.

After changing into his slippers and storing the two frozen chickens in the fridge, Chen Yu patted the dog on its head and said to Chen Sanke, “Make sure to wash your hands after getting touched by a dirty animal.”

“Woof!” The husky nodded in agreement. It then ran to the bathroom, leaned on the sink, turned on the faucet with its nosh, and washed its paws.

“…Dammit! Don’t stop me! I’m turning it into stew!”

Hugging tightly onto Chen Yu’s legs, Chen Sanke said, “Big Brother! Don’t!”

Shortly after, the security door opened once more, and the rest of the Chen family entered the house one after another while carrying all sorts of luggage.

“Ah, we’re finally home.” After setting down her stuffed backpack, Chen Yike dashed into the living room and laid on the sofa. “Our home is still the best.”

“Chen Yu, couldn’t you wait for us? You didn’t even help with the luggage either,” Mother Chen said angrily.

“You told me to stay away from you,” Chen Yu quibbled after carefully washing his hands in the bathroom. He then unlocked the door to his room and pushed open the door. “That bratty cousin of mine kept me up all night. I’m going to get some sleep. Don’t call me for dinner.”

Bang!

After entering his bedroom, Chen Yu shut the door and locked it.

“Something’s wrong with this child.” Mother Chen frowned. “He’s been shutting himself in his room all the time recently.”

“He has a partner now,” Father Chen said, waving his hand casually while sorting out the refrigerator. “He’s also in his puberty. It’s understandable that he wants some personal space to himself.”

“He doesn’t want us anymore now that he has that vixen,” Chen Erke said, pouting. “I want to sleep with Big Brother tonight.”

Meanwhile, Chen Yike grasped the phone in her pocket tightly as she silently stared at Chen Yu’s bedroom door, her mind occupied by various thoughts.

…

“Mr. Chen! You’re back!”

“Shh, keep your voice down.”

After removing his jacket, Chen Yu looked around the room before asking Little Peach, “Did you and the husky cause any trouble at home these past two days?”

“No.” Little Peach shook her head. “Pikachu has been very obedient.”

“I’m mainly talking about you.”

“…L-Little Peach has been obedient as well…”

“There’s a ‘but’ behind that sentence, right?”

“Huh?” Startled, Little Peach asked, “How did you know?”

“Dammit! There really is a ‘but’?!”

Lowering her head, Little Peach said in a hushed voice, “T-There’s a serious bug in one of my software projects, and I ended up losing some money.”

“That’s it?” Chen Yu asked suspiciously.

“I promise! This is the only trouble!”

“How much did you lose?”

“O-One hundred and seventy thousand…” Little Peach answered.

“Fine, it doesn’t matter.” Sitting on his bed, Chen Yu said, “It’s only 170,000. That’s just spare change. It’s fine so long as you don’t cause any big trouble.”

“Mr. Chen, please rest assured! I will win it back next time?”

“Huh?”

“Ah, no! I mean, I’ll earn it back!”

Although Chen Yu faintly felt that something was amiss, he didn’t think too deeply into the matter. He then changed the topic and asked, “How is the establishment of the Transdimensional Website coming along?”

“I had already set it up yesterday,” Little Peach said as she patted her chest triumphantly. “I’m the best at this. The website works perfectly. The invited students have also registered their information on the website already.”

“How many of them registered?”

“Let me check.” Sitting before the study table, Little Peach tapped away on her keyboard briefly before answering, “One thousand six hundred and thirty-three!”

“Stop taking on projects for now and focus on inspecting these students’ information. Filter out the ones that have sensitive information.”

“Okay!”

“Also, send the information of those top students to my phone. Transfer it through Bluetooth.”

“Understood.”

Laying down on the bed, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and began browsing the news of the past two days. He then flipped through the student information Little Peach sent him.

He read through the information very quickly, ignoring the males and giving the females a few glances. He also made sure to note down the beautiful ones and considered whether to give them extra points during the interview…

However, Chen Yu did not think he was going too far with his actions.

After all, this was something every qualified headmaster should do.

…

Time passed by quickly like a whirlpool in the toilet.

In the blink of an eye, only a week remained before Transdimensional Review hosted its ninth official livestream. However, at this time, the world’s governments were already in a tense state.

The reason for this was because today was the Transdimensional Academy’s enrollment day.

With the countless popular science books contained within the Super Floating Castle, every student that successfully enrolled into the Transdimensional Academy would undoubtedly become a national treasure-level scientific talent in the future.

Moreover, among the various kinds of human relationships available, relationships between students and teachers always had a very special and profound existence in human civilization. This had remained true since ancient times until now.

If any of the students could form a tight bond with Transdimensional’s UP, it would be a massive breakthrough on various levels.

Hence, the various governments would naturally do their best to cherish this precious opportunity.

…

Whoosh—

A Boeing plane landed steadily on the runway of Light Island’s Third Airport. Several shuttle buses then drove forward immediately to pick up the 100-plus teenagers who had disembarked from the plane.

These teenagers all originated from China. As soon as they were done celebrating the Chinese New Year, they had rushed to Beijing and rode a plane to “Civilization’s Light” Island to participate in the most important exam in their lives.

“That thing above us is the floating castle, right?” After entering the shuttle bus, one bespectacled female student looked up at the black spot in the sky excitedly. “How romantic. I want to live on it.”

“If you really get to stay on it, I’ll be calling you Academician Tang from now on,” the young man sitting next to the bespectacled girl said. After taking a deep breath, he continued, “Don’t be nervous during the exam. Whether you become a hero or zero will all depend on this exam.”

“Aren’t you even more nervous than I am?” the bespectacled girl said as she leaned against her seat. She then shrugged and continued, “I’m only here for the experience. I’m not holding onto any hopes of getting accepted. You, on the other hand, are the top student of our Third Middle School. Just do your best to keep your cool.”

“Stop speaking,” the young man said in a hushed tone as he turned around to look at the silent students around him. “Conserve your energy.”

…

Twenty minutes later…

Under the guidance of several government leaders, the students entered the airport.

When they walked through the long corridor and entered the airport’s lobby, what entered their eyes stunned them.

“Crap, isn’t this a little…”
